Abstract

See full text

Time required sending firmware updates to a peripheral device, e.g., a printer, is shortened without changing the communication speed. A server sequentially reads records of source data in a first format, deletes blocks of consecutive blank data that are contained in object data in records of the first format and are longer than management data in a second format, segments the object data before and after the blanks, connects the object data in records of the first format into units of a certain length, generates management data for each of the segmented object data and connected object data to produce target records in the second format, and sends the update data composed of the target records of the second format to the printer. Records of the first format written in ASCII code are binary converted, and binary records in the second format are sent to the printer.
