Abstract
A media processing device includes a reception unit that receives commands; a conveyance unit that conveys media; a reading unit that reads information from the media conveyed by the conveyance unit; a recording unit that records on the media conveyed by the conveyance unit; and an initialization process execution unit that, after the media processing device turns on or resets, enters a busy state in which the reception unit does not receive commands, executes a first initialization process that runs a process confirming media conveyance by the conveyance unit, and then cancels the busy state and runs a second initialization process that initializes the recording unit or the reading unit.
Claims7
A media processing device comprising:
- a reception unit that receives commands;
- a conveyance unit that conveys media;
- a reading unit that reads information from the media conveyed by the conveyance unit;
- a recording unit that records on the media conveyed by the conveyance unit;
- and
- an initialization process execution unit that, after the media processing device turns on or resets, enters a busy state in which the reception unit does not receive commands, executes a first initialization process that runs a process confirming whether or not media can be conveyed by the conveyance unit, and then cancels the busy state and runs a second initialization process that initializes the recording unit or the reading unit.
A method of controlling a media processing device comprising steps of:
- turning media processing device power on or resetting the media processing device;
- entering a busy state in which a reception unit does not receive commands;
- executing a first initialization process that confirms whether or not media can be conveyed by a conveyance unit that conveys media;
- canceling the busy state after running the first initialization process;
- and
- running a second initialization process that initializes a recording unit that records on the media or a reading unit that reads information from the media.
