Abstract: A print control device, a control method of a print control device, and a recording medium storing a program enable easily configuring a peripheral device connected to a printer. A POS terminal that configures peripheral devices connected to a receipt printer has a device configuration selection unit for selecting a configuration of peripheral devices; and a device configuration screen display unit that displays a configuration screen for the peripheral devices based on the selected device configuration. Because a configuration screen for a peripheral device that is not connected to the receipt printer (a configuration screen that is not needed) is not displayed, the risk of creating confusion regarding the configuration of a peripheral device for the user can be reduced.

Abstract: In a vehicle brake control device for generating rear wheel braking torque by an electric motor, “slip suppression control of the rear wheel” for reducing rear wheel braking torque by controlling the electric motor is executed based on a slip state quantity of the rear wheel. Further, “sudden-stop control” for rapidly stopping electric motor rotation motion is executed based on a slip state quantity of a front wheel. The sudden-stop control is executed when rear wheel slip suppression control is not being executed. As the sudden-stop control, “control for changing an energization amount of the electric motor stepwise to an energization limit value set in advance corresponding to a deceleration direction of the electric motor” may be executed. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress excessive rear wheel slip due to inertia influences or the like of the electric motor when execution of the rear wheel slip suppression control is started.
