Summary:A communication method for performing communication with outside by connecting a communication apparatus (e.g., a LAN card) to an electronic apparatus such as a printer. The LAN card is connected to a setting apparatus such as a personal computer (step S 301 ). Then setting information for the electronic apparatus is inputted via the setting apparatus into the LAN card and stored there (steps S 302 and S 303 ). The LAN card is connected to the electronic apparatus (step S 311 ), and communication is established based on the setting information in the LAN card. In this manner, a communication function can be easily set even in an apparatus with limited input means such as a printer.
