ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method and associated apparatus for defining an interface between a peripheral device and a computer application using standard driver(s) without use of specific peripheral device drivers. The method provides for processing one command in a multifunction peripheral device comprising a communication interface capable of connecting the peripheral device to a host system, the processing being in accordance with at least one of the functions of the multifunction peripheral device, called first function. After reception, the command is processed according to the first function and analyzed to determine whether at least one specific parameter related to at least one other function, separate from the first function, called second function, is associated with said one command. In response to said analysis, if at least one specific parameter related to said second function is associated with the one command, a request related to the second function is executed.
