摘要:
A printing apparatus and interface device backup operating parameters and operating history data so that the these data can be easily restored. A memory (109) in the printer (101) nonvolatilely stores operating parameter data. Commands from a host (161) are passed by the interface device (131) and received by a receiver (103). If the command data is a print command, the print mechanism (108) prints the specified text or image. If the command data is a command for updating the operating parameter data, the corresponding data in the memory (109) is updated and at an appropriate backup timing the data in the memory (109) is copied to memory (135) in the interface device (131). The data backed up to the interface device (131) can then be restored to memory (109) in the printer from the memory (135) in the interface device at an appropriate data restore time.
摘要:
A label printing apparatus having an on-board peeling mechanism determines the appropriate time to run a process for setting the paper. Paper having a plurality of labels continuously affixed to a web liner is set inside the label printing apparatus when a main cover (2b) is open. Whether or not the peeling mechanism is used is selected by selecting the exit from which the web is passed outside the printer when a peeling mechanism cover (5) attached to the main cover (2b) is open. A control method for this printer has a step of waiting for input from an input unit when the main cover (2b) is closed after putting the paper inside the label printer, and a step of executing a paper setup process when input is detected in step.

摘要:
A printer and control method therefor improve the operability of loading paper to the printer, and specifically enable paper to be loaded reliably and easily with a simple operation. Opening of a release lever that is operated to load paper to the printer is detected to automatically start a paper feed operation. When closing of the release lever is then detected, paper transportation is stopped and the paper loading process is terminated. A paper detector can also be provided to detect the presence of paper, and the paper transport amount is then controlled based on paper detector output. When a predetermined amount of paper is transported through the printer, paper transportation is stopped and loading the paper is completed.
