Abstract
To provide a printing system including an attaching device configured to attach a label on an adherend, and a printer connected to the attaching device and configured to operate in cooperation with the attaching device, in which the printer is configured to send a signal for indicating a state of the printer to the attaching device, and/or receive a signal for performing an operation of the printer from the attaching device, and the attaching device is configured to receive and display the signal for indicating the state of the printer, and/or receive an input of the signal for performing the operation of the printer and send the signal to the printer.
Claims14
A printing system comprising:
- an attaching device configured to attach a label on an adherend;
- and
- a printer connected to the attaching device and configured to operate in cooperation with the attaching device, wherein:
- the printer is configured to send a signal for indicating a state of the printer to the attaching device, and receive a signal for performing an operation of the printer from the attaching device, and
- the attaching device is configured to receive the signal from the printer indicating the state of the printer and display information indicating the state of the printer, and receive an input of the signal for performing the operation of the printer and send the signal to the printer.
A control method for a printing system, the printing system comprising a printer that is connected to an attaching device configured to attach a label to an adherend, wherein the printer is configured to operate in cooperation with the attaching device, the method comprising:
- sending, by the printer, a signal for indicating a state of the printer to the attaching device, and receiving, by the printer, a signal for performing an operation of the printer from the attaching device;
- and
- displaying, by the attaching device, the state of the printer, and receiving, by the attaching device, an input of the operation of the printer.
A printer that is configured to connect to an attaching device configured to attach a label to an adherend, the printer being configured to operate in cooperation with the attaching device, the printer comprising:
- a control unit configured to:
- send a signal for indicating a state of the printer to the attaching device, and
- receive a signal for performing an operation of the printer is received from the attaching device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a program executable by a computer of a printing system, the printing system comprising an attaching device configured to attach a label on an adherend and a printer connected to the attaching device and configured to operate in cooperation with the attaching device, the program causing the computer to execute operations comprising:
- sending a signal for indicating a state of the printer to the attaching device, and receiving a signal for performing an operation of the printer from the attaching device;
- and
- displaying the state of the printer, and receiving an input of the operation of the printer at the attaching device.
