Abstract: A printing execution unit (111) of a printing device (100) executes printing of the printing surface identified by printing surface identification information based on printing instruction data including resultant product identification information for identifying a resultant product of printing, a total printing surface number, which is a total number of the printing surface to be printed to obtain the resultant product, printing surface identification information for identifying a printing surface, and printing data of the printing surface identified by the printing surface identification information. A printing history output unit (112) outputs a printing history indicating a result of printing executed based on the printing instruction data including the same resultant product identification information in association with the resultant product identification information.

Abstract: A printing system that performs printing includes a printing apparatus in which at least a part thereof is configured by a unit part which is a replaceable function component. The printing apparatus is controlled using a command group including a printer control command which is a command for controlling the printing apparatus and a unit inspection command which is a command used for an inspection of the unit part. At least a part of the printing apparatus is configured by a plurality of unit parts having different functions. The plurality of unit parts are configured to be inspected using the unit inspection command.

Abstract: There are provided a boundary determination method and a media cutting method. The boundary determination method is a method of determining the position of the boundary between first and second image regions arranged on a medium. The boundary determination method includes: a detection step of checking position information of the first image region by detecting a reference mark that is formed in the first image region in order to indicate a position of the first image region; a prediction step of predicting position information of the second image region based on the position information of the first image region; and a determination step of determining the position of the boundary based on positional relationship between the first and second image regions calculated using the position information of the first and second image regions.
