Output control method and apparatus.

摘要

In an output control method and apparatus, various kinds of setting items can be set or changed in accordance with a function which has been newly added at the side of an output apparatus. A setting-item file of an emulator supplied to the output apparatus is read, and read data are analyzed. A setting menu of the setting-item file is constructed and displayed on the picture surface of a host computer based on the result of the analysis. A setting item of the setting-item file is changed based on a value input in response to the displayed picture surface. <IMAGE>
