20090059281 | Printing System, Printer, Host Computer, Printing System Control Method, And Program - A printing system enables easily recognizing the status of a printing process. The host computer | 03-05-2009 |
20110175955 | Printer And Printing System | 07-21-2011 |
20130266359 | Recording Device, Control Method of a Recording Device, and Storage Medium - The cutting control unit | 10-10-2013 |
20130278394 | Media Processing Device, Control Method of a Media Processing Device, and Storage Medium - Writing incorrect information to an IC tag affixed to a medium is prevented. When a control command including recording information, an instruction to record the recording information on a medium, and an instruction to write data including at least time-related information to an IC tag affixed to the medium is received from a host computer, the system controller | 10-24-2013 |
20130285798 | Media Processing Device, Media Processing System, and Control Method of a Media Processing Device - Overwriting information that was correctly written to an IC tag that can communicate wirelessly but is not the IC tag on the medium intended to be processed is prevented so that the wrong information is not stored in the IC tag. When writing write data including uniquely assigned tag ID information to an IC tag ends correctly, the system controller | 10-31-2013 |
20130314461 | Printer And Printing System - A method of controlling a printer involves reading a cartridge identification number from a memory in a cartridge and storing such number, generating status information including such number and may further include a calculated ink usage amount, and sending the status information to a data processing apparatus, which may be a server. In some embodiments, the ink usage amount is calculated as a number of discharged ink shots. The server saves the status information. This or another upstream server can reliably determine the number of ink shots used by the printer only for printing from this status information. | 11-28-2013 |
20140211236 | Printer, Printing Control Method, And Recording Medium Storing A Printing Control Program - A printer that receives requests to print on plural different media enables efficient system maintenance and system changes. A printer connected in a daisy chain to a host device or a first printer on one side and to a second printer on the other side has a communication unit that receives print request data from the host device or the first printer, and sends the print request data to the second printer; a print unit that interprets the received print request data and executes a printing control process based on the result of data interpretation; and a response unit that generates individual response data for the printer based on the result of the printing control process, generates unified response data from response data received from the second printer and the individual response data, and sends the unified response data to the host device or the first printer. | 07-31-2014 |
20150070416 | Printer and Printing System - Control of a printer involves reading a cartridge identification number from a memory in a cartridge and storing such number, generating status information including such number and may further include a calculated ink usage amount, and sending the status information to a data processing apparatus, which may be a server. In some embodiments, the ink usage amount is calculated as a number of discharged ink shots. The server saves the status information. This or another upstream server can reliably determine the number of ink shots used by the printer only for printing from this status information. Such control is embodied in a program stored on a non-transitory controller-readable medium, which program is executed by a controller in the printer. | 03-12-2015 |

20110109941 | RECORDING CONTROL DEVICE, RECORDING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING RECORDING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A recording control device controls a recording mechanism section which performs recording on a recording medium by a recording head. An image expansion section expands data input from the outside to create image data for recording. An image buffer memory temporarily stores the image data created by the image expansion section. A recording control section reads the image data stored in the image buffer memory, and controls the recording mechanism section to record the read image data on the recording medium by the recording head. The recording control section controls a recording speed of the recording mechanism section on the basis of a creation speed of the image data in the image expansion section. | 05-12-2011 |
20120141185 | PRINTING DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A printing device and a control method for a printing device enable eliminating paper feed error due to slipping between a paper feed roller and recording paper when printing. The control unit of a thermal printer has a slippage calculator that runs a process to calculate slippage between the recording paper and platen roller when conveying the recording paper during printing, and a conveyance distance correction unit that runs a process to correct the paper feed distance of the recording paper when printing to each printing area based on the slippage that was just calculated. The conveyance distance correction unit runs a process that inserts a non-printing area d of a length corresponding to the slippage to one or plural specific positions in the original print image. | 06-07-2012 |
20140062674 | MEDIA PROCESSING DEVICE, PRINTING DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF A MEDIA PROCESSING DEVICE - When writing information to the IC tag of a medium, the control unit | 03-06-2014 |
20150036165 | Media Processing Device, Media Processing System, and Control Method of a Media Processing Device - After processing a medium B with a processing unit based on control data received from a host computer | 02-05-2015 |
