Abstract: A printing system, print control device, and print control method enable non-technical users without specific technical knowledge to appropriately set the flushing conditions of a printer. A host that sends commands to an inkjet printer that prints on a print medium provides a user interface for selecting an operating mode prioritizing the throughput of the printing operation, or a normal operating mode. When the operating mode prioritizing printer throughput is selected using the user interface, the host generates a command setting a condition for flushing the ink nozzles of the inkjet printer, and sends the generated command to the inkjet printer.

Abstract: A printer and a control method of a printer can print barcodes appropriately according to a given print medium by means of a simple, easy operation. The printer stores a constant preset correction value relationally corresponding to each type of print medium. The printer also stores an added correction value that is optionally input for each specific type of print medium. The preset constant correction value and the added correction value are used to adjust the printed state of the barcode, e.g. to adjust bar widths within the barcode. The print control unit prints barcodes as adjusted using the preset constant correction value stored in the printer storage unit and further adjusted using the added correction value.

Abstract: A printing apparatus capable of continuously printing images on a recording medium, each of the images including a variable image of which an aspect is variable for each of the images to be continuously printed and a fixed image of which an aspect is the same for each of the images to be continuously printed, the printing apparatus includes a storage unit that associates and stores therein image data of the fixed image and a template having at least information about a position of printing an image, and a printing control unit that, when a control command which includes information for designating the template and instructs a printing of the variable image is input, superimposes the variable image and the fixed image associated with the designated template, on the basis of the template and print the superimposed image.

Abstract: A recording device is disclosed which has a push switch and no display. A menu item is sequentially changed out of a plurality of menu items, which are arranged in a specific order, by operating the push switch. Sub-pluralities of menu items are sequentially skipped based on the continuous operation of the push switch to quickly arrive at a desired menu item, without the need to select each and every menu item in sequential order.

Abstract: Media processing devices, media processing device control methods, and computer-readable recording mediums storing programs that can be executed by control units that control media processing devices are provided. In one embodiment, a media processing device has a plurality of operation units that process roll paper and checks as a plurality of recording media, and a central processing unit (CPU) that controls the operation units by executing commands received from a host computer. When the CPU detects during a normal operating mode that commands for any of the operation units cannot be executed, the CPU switches to a limited operation mode in which commands for that operation unit cannot be executed, but commands from the host computer can be received and commands for other operation units can be executed.

Abstract: A printing device, a printing system, and a control method of a printing device can easily adjust how a barcode is printed. The printer stores a constant for adjusting how to print a barcode in a printer storage unit, interprets commands received from a host computer, and acquires a specified additional adjustment value when the interpreted command is a command specifying an additional adjustment value. When a command instructing printing a barcode is received, the printer prints the barcode based on the previously stored constant and the additional adjustment value acquired from a command.
