Abstract
In an information-processing device a controller executes a storage process to store a command program in a memory. The command program supports the target device and outputs commands to the target device. In a case where the memory does not store the command program, an OS executes a plug and play process for a target device triggered by connection of the target device to the communication interface, and records in the memory unspecified device information indicating that the target device is unknown. In a case where the memory stores the unspecified device information, the OS does not complete a setup process even if the memory stores the command program. The controller executes, after executing the storage process, a deletion process to delete the unspecified device information from the memory so that the OS can complete the setup process.
