Abstract: A printer includes a control section that monitors the communication state of the communication with a host device via any one of a plurality of communication interfaces. When a communication connection between a host device, which is a processing target, and a predetermined communication interface is broken and then reconnected, the control section performs the following processing. The control section determines whether or not the host device, which is a communication destination of the predetermined communication interface, before the communication is broken is identical to the host device after the communication is reconnected. If determined to be identical, the control section 30 holds the data stored in a reception buffer corresponding to the predetermined communication interface. On the other hand, if determined not to be identical, the control section deletes the data stored in a reception buffer corresponding to the predetermined communication interface.
