Publication number: 20190291452Abstract: In a printer, an accommodating portion accommodates printing agent supplied from a first cartridge. A print execution device prints with the printing agent supplied from the accommodating portion. A processor acquires first information concerning a residual quantity of the printing agent remaining in the first cartridge. The processor acquires second information concerning a preparation of a second cartridge to be replaced with the first cartridge. If the residual quantity is below a reference quantity and if the second information is acquired, the processor allows the print execution device to perform printing under a cartridge removed state where the first cartridge is removed from the mount portion. If the residual quantity is larger than or equal to the reference quantity or if the second information is not acquired, the processor prohibits the print execution device from printing under the cartridge removed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2019Publication date: September 26, 2019Applicant: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yuki YADA

Patent number: 9038190Abstract: A communication apparatus may include a reception portion, a decision portion, and a transmission portion. The reception portion may receive a first data request transmitted through a first security level communication, and a second data request transmitted through a second security level communication, the second security level being more secure than the first security level. The decision portion may decide whether a specific data request is the first data request or the second data request. The transmission portion may transmit a specific data to an apparatus that is a transmission source of the specific data request if the specific data request is the second data request, and may transmit different data to the apparatus if the specific data request is the first data request. The different data contains display information for causing the apparatus to retransmit the specific data request through the second security level communication.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Munehisa Matsuda, Yohei Maekawa, Takeshi Miyake, Yuki Yada
