Abstract
An external apparatus communicates with a liquid ejecting apparatus provided with a head and a memory for storing nozzle-information. A program for controlling the external apparatus allows a computer to execute a procedure for acquiring first information corresponding to the nozzle-information from the liquid ejecting apparatus, and a procedure for judging whether or not second information is to be acquired from the liquid ejecting apparatus on the basis of the first information, the second information being information corresponding to the nozzle-information and the second information having a data amount larger than that of the first information. If it is judged that the second information is to be acquired from the liquid ejecting apparatus, a procedure for acquiring the second information from the liquid ejecting apparatus is executed.
