The disclosure discloses a printer including a CPU that executes a detection process, a first determination process, and a first mode switching process. In the detection process, a type of a storage body is detected. In the first determination process, it is determined on the basis of a detection result whether the type of the storage body attached to the attaching part is a first type in an ordering state associated with insufficiency in quantity or a second type other than the first type. In the first mode switching process a control mode is switched from a normal mode prepared in advance correspondingly to the second type to a medium-saving mode prepared in advance correspondingly to the first type for reducing a consumption amount of the print-receiving medium than the normal mode, in the case that the type is determined as the first type.
A printer configured to perform printing, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a printing producing program for executing steps on an apparatus computer of a printer that includes an attaching part configured to attach a storage body storing a print-receiving medium in a suppliable manner, a feeder configured to feed said print-receiving medium supplied from said storage body attached to said attaching part, a printing head configured to perform a desired print onto said print-receiving medium fed by said feeder, and said apparatus computer configured to control said feeder and said printing head in a predetermined control mode,
