Abstract
A printer includes a printing mechanism configured to print images on a print medium, a print controller configured to execute a job group including a plurality of print jobs configured to print the images to make the printing mechanism print the images in the respective print jobs in sequence to thereby form a single printing result, a detector configured to detect a print error of the printing mechanism, a display device, and a display controller configured to make the display device display a printing position when the print error was detected by the detector.
Claims9
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing mechanism configured to print images on a print medium;
- a print controller configured to execute a job group including a plurality of print jobs configured to print the images to make the printing mechanism print the images in the respective print jobs in sequence to thereby form a single printing result;
- a detector configured to detect a print error of the printing mechanism;
- a display;
- a display controller configured to make the display display a printing position when the print error was detected by the detector during execution of any of the print jobs included in the job group;
- and
- a shooting section configured to take one of a still image and a moving image of one of a printing position of the printing mechanism and the print medium already printed by the printing mechanism,
- wherein when the print error is detected by the detector, the display controller makes the display display one of the still image and the moving image taken by the shooting section.
A print control device configured to control a printing mechanism configured to print images on a print medium, comprising:
- a print controller configured to execute a job group including a plurality of print jobs configured to print the images to make the printing mechanism print the images in the respective print jobs in sequence to thereby form a single printing result;
- a detector configured to detect a print error of the printing mechanism;
- a display;
- a display controller configured to make the display display a printing position when the print error was detected by the detector during execution of any of the print jobs included in the job group;
- and
- a shooting section configured to take one of a still image and a moving image of one of a printing position of the printing mechanism and the print medium already printed by the printing mechanism,
- wherein when the print error is detected by the detector, the display controller makes the display display one of the still image and the moving image taken by the shooting section.
A method of controlling a printing apparatus having a printing mechanism configured to print images on a print medium, the method comprising:
- executing a job group including a plurality of print jobs configured to print the images to make the printing mechanism print the images in the respective print jobs in sequence to thereby form a single printing result;
- detecting a print error of the printing mechanism;
- displaying, on a display, a printing position when the print error was detected;
- and a shooting section taking one of a still image and a moving image of one of a printing position of the printing mechanism and the print medium already printed by the printing mechanism, wherein when the print error is detected, the display displays one of the still image and the moving image taken by the shooting section.
