Claims10
A printer comprising:
- a printing portion configured to perform printing on a paper sheet;
- a control unit configured to control the printing portion;
- a memory connecting terminal configured to receive an external memory that stores printing data for printing by the printer;
- a reading device configured to optically or electromagnetically read an operation code for the printer;
- and
- a display configured to display a content that demands the reading operation of the operation code by the reading device, wherein
- the control unit is configured such that prior to any printing of the printing data, the control unit compares a collation keyword included in the operation code read by the reading device and a collation keyword included in the printing data supplied from the external memory, and if the collation keywords match, the control unit controls the printing portion to print the printing data from the external memory onto the paper sheet,
- the operation code includes an in-code keyword identification command for identifying the collation keyword in the operation code, and
- the printing data includes an in-printing data keyword identification command for identifying the collation keyword in the printing data.
