CONSTITUTION:A CPU 1 after being powered ON executes various initializing processes at the time of the actuation of the system. At this time, the CPU 1 recognizes the kind of the peripheral device which is effectively connected to the system main body. Then the CPU 1 displays the icon corresponding to the kind of the peripheral device, effectively connected to the system main body, on the display screen of a display 14. The display data of the icon are previously stored in a ROM 3. In this case, the icons corresponding to a page printer 18, an FDD 6, an HDD 8, IC card 10, etc., are displayed.
