The way a computer communicates with a peripheral device is through a device driver. A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.

Microsoft® Office 2013: Illustrated Introductory, First Course (Page Concepts 16). Cengage Textbook. Kindle Edition. b) The transmission protocol between a computer and its peripheral devices is handled by the hardware interface for the device.
