Abstract

A peripheral device (210) and a method for operating the peripheral device for automatic installation, in which the method includes coupling the peripheral device (210) to a computer (150) and sending a first device identification from the peripheral device (210) to the computer (150). The peripheral device (210) emulates a device of a type determined by the first device identification, including transferring a driver from the peripheral device (210) to the computer (150). Then, the peripheral device (210) sends a second device identification from the peripheral device (210) to the computer (150) such that the sent device identification is for a device supported by the driver transferred to the computer (150). The peripheral device (210) then operates by interacting with the driver on the computer (150).
