Multifunction device, method of controlling a multifunction device, and a storage medium

A method of controlling a multifunction device that can connect to a control device and has a conveyance unit that conveys a medium, a reading unit that reads the medium conveyed by the conveyance unit and outputs the read result to the control device, and a ticket producing unit that produces a ticket by recording an image on the recording medium and cutting the recording medium, the control method comprising steps of:

• receiving from the control device a control command for producing a ticket on which an image reflecting the read result from the reading unit is recorded;
• producing a ticket based on the control command received by the reception unit by writing image data to a first buffer, recording an image on the recording medium with the ticket producing unit based on the buffered image data, and cutting the recording medium;
• copying the image data written to the first buffer to a second buffer when the image data is written to the first buffer;
• and
• when a command to reprint the ticket is received, reprinting the ticket by recording an image on the recording medium with the ticket producing unit based on the image data copied to the second buffer, and cutting the recording medium.

A recording medium storing a program that is run by a control unit that controls parts of a multifunction device that can connect to a control device and has a conveyance unit that conveys a medium, a reading unit that reads the medium conveyed by the conveyance unit and outputs the read result to the control device, and a ticket producing unit that produces a ticket by recording an image on the recording medium and cutting the recording medium, the program causing the control unit to execute steps of:

• producing a ticket based on a control command received from the control device for producing a ticket on which an image reflecting the read result from the reading unit is recorded by writing image data to a first buffer, recording an image on the recording medium with the ticket producing unit based on the buffered image data, and cutting the recording medium;
• copying the image data written to the first buffer to a second buffer when the image data is written to the first buffer;
• and
• when a command to reprint the ticket is received, reprinting the ticket by recording an image on the recording medium with the ticket producing unit based on the image data copied to the second buffer, and cutting the recording medium.
