At first, describe the formation of the network printer in detail.

The network printer has the general computing machine identical functions that is connected CPU, ROM, RAM and I/F etc. with bus.

On I/F, as external device (ED), connect as man-machine interface by can import the guidance panel that constitutes with the touch-screen of video data etc., with data or form etc. as the memory storage of file storage, other is printed the printer engine (enginee) that required mechanism constitutes and is used to be connected signal wire on the network 199 by printhead, a drive division etc.

Memory device stores has login to carry out the execution result login form of the execution result of test module under the network printer.

In the execution result login form 520, as shown in figure 25, to record of each login of each test module.Each record comprise the field 526 of the field 524 of the field 522 of login test module title, amount of memory that the login test module uses under the network printer, number of categories that the login test module starts under the network printer and login test module processing time field 528 and be logged.

In the example of Figure 25, in the 1st record, logining ' T1 (only under use-pattern A, using storer) ' respectively, as the title of test module, login ' 100 ', as amount of memory, login ' 5 ', as number of categories, login ' 30 ' is as the processing time.This expression test module T1 only uses storer under use-pattern A, by its execution, use 100[byte under the network printer] amount of memory, and, start 30 classification.

CPU starts the established procedure in the regulation zone that is stored in ROM, and according to this program, the use stock number shown in the process flow diagram of execution Figure 26 is measured and handled.

Use stock number to measure and handle, then as shown in figure 26, at first move to step S900 if carry out by CPU30.

In step S900, obtain the test module tabulation of having logined the test module that should carry out, and move to step S902, according to the test module tabulation that obtains, carry out test module, move to step S904.

In step S904, measure the amount of memory of the test module use of carrying out and the number of categories of startup, and move to step S906, measure the processing time of the test module of carrying out, and move to step S908, the use amount of memory, the startup number of categories that are measured to is corresponding with the title of test module with minute, and login is logined in the form 520 at execution result, and moves to step S910.

In step S910, according to the tabulation of the test module obtained, judge whether there is the test module that should carry out, when being judged to be the test module that existence should carry out (being), move to step S902, otherwise (denying) finishes a succession of processing, returns to original processing.

Be used for generating resource conversion table lattice 22 by the execution result login form 520 that uses the processing of stock number mensuration to obtain at host terminal 100.

Below, the formation of detailed description host terminal 100.

CPU30 starts the established procedure in the regulation zone that is stored in ROM32, and according to this program, the resource conversion table lattice shown in the process flow diagram of execution Figure 27 generate to be handled.

The resource conversion table lattice generate and handle is the processing of the stand-by time when generating resource conversion table lattice 22, among the determining step S713, if carried out by CPU30, then as shown in figure 27, at first moves to step S1000.

In step S1000, obtain the test module tabulation, and move to step S1002, initialization resource conversion table lattice 22, and move to step S1004, and stand-by time is set at ' 0 ', move to step S1006.

In step S1006,, carry out whole test modules according to the test module tabulation that obtains.At this, test module is carried out by the processing shown in the process flow diagram of Figure 10～Figure 17 and Figure 24 with functional module 130 is the same separately.Therefore, by handling stand-by time, adjust the processing time in step S713 standby.

Afterwards, move to step S1008, measure the amount of memory of each test module use of carrying out and the number of categories of startup, and move to step S1010, measure the processing time of each test module of carrying out, move to step S1012.

In step S1012, from execution result login form 520, read processing time corresponding to each test module, and move to step S1014, judge the processing time read total, with or its difference whether consistent to the total in processing time of each test module mensuration whether below defined threshold, when inconsistent or its differential ratio defined threshold is big when the total that is judged to be the processing time (denying), move to step S1016.

In step S1016, it is short whether the total of judging the processing time read compares the total in the processing time that each test module measures, and (be) to move to step S1018 in short-term when being judged to be the total in the processing time of reading, stand-by time is subtracted ' 1 ', move to step S1006.

On the other hand, in step S1016, (deny) in short-term, move to step S1020, stand-by time is added ' 1 ', move to step S1006 when the total that is judged to be the processing time that each test module is measured.

On the other hand, in step S1014, consistent or its difference is that defined threshold is when following (being) when the total that is judged to be the processing time, move to step S1022, from execution result login form 520, read use amount of memory and startup number of categories, move to step S1024 corresponding to each test module.

In step S1024, to each of each test module, according to the use amount of memory that this test module is measured and start number of categories, with the use amount of memory of reading with start in the number of categories corresponding to the use amount of memory of this test module and start number of categories, calculate coefficient of conversion, and move to step S1026, kind and use-pattern by each resource, maximal value login in the coefficient of conversion that will calculate each test module is in resource conversion table lattice 22, finish a succession of processing, return to original processing.
