Abstract

A method for the automatic configuration of a computer peripheral for processing a computer document segmented into a plurality of unitary subparts for processing by the peripheral, which includes the steps of acquiring data relating to the processing context; of testing the context data in order to determine the validity of at least one predetermined condition relating to the context data; of modifying the preconfigured order of processing of the subparts of the computer document by means of the computer peripheral, the modification step being implemented if at least one predetermined condition is determined as being valid, in order thus to adapt, in a manner appropriate to the processing context, the order of processing of the subparts of the computer document by the computer peripheral.
