  • Publication number: 20220314639
    Abstract: A print device prints prescribed information on a plurality of print media including at least one first medium and at least one second medium arranged subsequent to the at least one first medium on a long medium. The plurality of print media corresponds to a zone number that is smaller than a total number of the print media to be printed. The print device judges, for each of the at least one first medium, a print quality or a degree of the print quality. The judging the print quality or the degree of the print quality is based on a prescribed result obtained the print content of the at least one first medium on which the printing has been performed. The print device prints, on the at least one second medium, judgment result information indicating a result of the judging the print quality or the degree of the print quality.
