Abstract
An image processing device and control method that includes a processor and a memory storing a set of instructions that, when executed by the processor, controls the image processing device to receive a first data object representing a software update to be applied to the at least one peripheral device coupled to the image processing device. A communication mode switch message is generated to change a mode of communicating data between the at least one peripheral device and the image processing device and communicate the communication mode switch message to the at least one peripheral device. Currently active communication mode is disabled and a previously disabled communication pathway of the at least one peripheral device is activated as an update mode. The data representing the software update is transmitted via the update mode to apply the software update to the at least one peripheral device.
