Abstract
A printer having a printing unit that prints an image; a light emitting unit capable of switching colors of light emission; and a processor configured to: acquire an image to be printed from an external device; detect representative colors of regions by dividing the image to be printed by the printing unit into a plurality of regions; and control light emission of the light emitting unit, wherein the processor further configured to cause the light emitting unit to switch colors of the light emission based on the representative colors of the regions in order according to a printing progress of the image to be printed by the printing unit.
Claims20
A printer comprising:
- a printing unit;
- a light emitting unit capable of switching colors of light emission;
- and
- a processor configured to, in a case where the printing unit prints an image, cause the light emitting unit to emit light of colors while switching the colors in order, the colors being representative colors of regions into which the image to be printed is divided.
A printer comprising:
- a printing unit;
- a light emitting unit capable of switching colors of light emission;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- acquire information of a light emission pattern from an external device;
- and
- cause the light emitting unit to emit light in accordance with the acquired information of the light emission pattern,
- wherein the light emission pattern is set to cause the light emitting unit to emit light of colors while switching the colors in order, the colors being representative colors of regions into which an image to be printed by the printing unit is divided.
A method of controlling a printer including a printing unit and a light emitting unit capable of switching colors of light emission, the method comprising:
- causing the printing unit to print an image;
- and
- causing the light emitting unit to emit light of colors while switching the colors in order, the colors being representative colors of regions into which the image to be printed is divided.
A method of controlling a printer including a printing unit and a light emitting unit capable of switching colors of light emission, the method comprising:
- acquiring information of a light emission pattern from an external device;
- and
- causing the light emitting unit to emit light in accordance with the acquired information of the light emission pattern,
- wherein the light emission pattern is set to cause the light emitting unit to emit light of colors while switching the colors in order, the colors being representative colors of regions into which an image to be printed by the printing unit is divided.
