System and method for printing using extraction setting information

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a processor to execute a method

• when installed in a printer configured to receive data containing a character string to be printed, from an external device in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol, the method comprising:
• acquiring extraction setting information that is information relating to a method of extracting the character string contained in the data received from the external device, the extraction setting information indicating a start digit and a number of digits of the character string to be extracted;
• upon receiving the data from the external device, extracting the character string from the received data, based on the extraction setting information acquired by the acquiring;
• and
• printing the character string extracted by the extracting, on a print medium.

An information processing system comprising an external device and a printer that is communicable with the external device in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol,

• the external device including a data transmission unit that is configured to transmit to the printer, data containing a character string to be printed by the printer,
• the printer including a processor configured to:
• receive the data from the external device;
• acquire extraction setting information that is information relating to a method of extracting the character string contained in the received data, the extraction setting information indicating a start digit and a number of digits of the character string to be extracted;
• upon receiving the data from the external device, extract the character string from the received data, based on the acquired extraction setting information;
• and
• print the extracted character string, on a print medium.
