Abstract
A printing device does not perform a flying print during a manual duplex print and performs a process for discharging a sheet of a page even when a memory deficient error or a data abnormal error arises during the process of any of pages in the manual duplex print.
Claims13
A printing device comprising:
- a print mechanism that prints data on a sheet;
- a memory that stores flying print setting information which defines whether a flying print function is made to be valid or invalid;
- a receiver that receives a print request from a host computer through a communicator;
- a discriminator that discriminates whether an execution of a manual duplex print is instructed or not in the print request received by the receiver;
- a setting switcher that switches the flying print setting information in the memory to an invalidity when the discriminator decides that the execution of the manual duplex print is instructed in the print request;
- and
- a print controller that:
- controls the print mechanism to perform a printing process corresponding to the print request received by the receiver in accordance with the setting information in the memory;
- and discharges, when a memory deficient error or a data abnormal error arises during the process of any of pages in the printing process in a case where the discriminator decides that the execution of the manual duplex print is instructed in the print request, a sheet of the page.

A print control method, comprising
- receiving a print request;
- discriminating whether an execution of a manual duplex print is instructed or not in the print request;
- switching a flying print function to invalidity to set a print condition, when the execution of the manual duplex is instructed;
- and
- starting a print control processing based on the print condition.
