Abstract
The invention enables the user to designate a start mode even if the driver software, controlling the peripheral device, does not know the start mode (start timing and condition for the job processing) settable in the peripheral device, at the installation. The driver software requests, to the peripheral device, a list of the attribute values settable for the start mode, then displays the attribute values in the list to the user, and sets the attribute value, designated in the list, as the job attribute.
