  • Publication number: 20240104674
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus has a first interface connectable to an external server, a second interface connectable to a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive order data for dinning orders via the first and second interface and cause the display to display order data in a first area or a second area depending on whether the order data is first-type order data or second-type order data. The first and second areas are separate areas. The first-type order data is for dining orders of a first type, such as delivery orders, and the second-type order data is for dining orders of a second type, such as in-store dining orders.

  • Publication number: 20240075736
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a mounting unit, a tank, a pump, a detection unit, an obtainment unit, and a control unit. The mounting unit is configured so that a head that ejects ink can be mounted in a replaceable manner. The tank contains ink to be supplied to the head via a tube. The pump discharges ink to an outside of the head. The detection unit detects that the head mounted on the mounting unit has been replaced. The obtainment unit obtains information of a usage history which indicates whether or not the head mounted as a replacement has been used. The control unit controls a discharge operation, which is performed by the pump after head replacement, to be changed based on the information of the usage history.
