Abstract
It is an object to allow an output apparatus to certainly recognize an error when the error occurs at the time of a data transfer using an upper layer (IEEE 1284.4). In a communication system in which an information processing apparatus and an output apparatus can communicate data by using an interface constructed by the upper layer (IEEE 1284.4) and a lower layer (IEEE 1284), when the information processing apparatus detects an error at the time of a data communication using the upper layer, a, predetermined command (device ID request) specified in the lower layer is used in order to allow the output apparatus to recognize the occurrence of the error.
