1. A POS peripheral device comprising:
a storing section configured to store setting information; and
a control section configured to control the storing section, wherein
the control section is configured to determine whether communication with an external device connected to the POS peripheral device via a USB cable is in a first mode or in a second mode by performing enumeration with the external device, and to determine that the external device is a first external device when the communication is in the first mode in which the communication is performed at a first speed and that the external device is a second external device when the communication is in the second mode in which the communication is performed at a second speed different from the first speed,
when the control section determines the communication is in the first mode the control section transmits, to the first external device, information indicating that the POS peripheral device operates as a communication device, and
when the control section determines the communication is in the second mode, the control section transmits, to the second external device, information indicating that the POS peripheral device operates as a storage that stores information in the storing section.
