Abstract
A system in which a recording device is connected to another device can test the functionality of the recording device and test the functionality of the system including the recording device at the same time. A recording system 1 causes the printer 3 to execute a test relating to the functionality of the printer 3 in response to operation of a test switch 49, store the test switch 49 operation count, and return the stored test switch 49 operation count in response to a request from the host computer 2. The host computer 2 requests the printer 3 to send the test switch 49 operation count, and runs a test related to the recording system 1 based on the operation count returned by the printer 3 in response to the request.
