Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a communication interface, a touch panel, a memory, and a controller. The controller is configured to, when a print instruction has been received via not the communication interface from an external device but the touch panel, cancel printing of internal data stored in the memory in response to receiving a cancel instruction via the touch panel. The controller is further configured to, when the print instruction has been received via not the touch panel but the communication interface from the external device, continue the printing, without canceling the printing based on the cancel instruction.
Claims20
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface;
- a touch panel;
- a memory;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- perform printing of internal data stored in the memory, in response to receiving a print instruction;
- and
- receive via the touch panel a cancel instruction to cancel the printing of the internal data stored in the memory,
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- when the print instruction has been received via not the communication interface from an external device but the touch panel, cancel the printing in response to receiving the cancel instruction via the touch panel;
- and
- when the print instruction has been received via not the touch panel but the communication interface from the external device, continue the printing, without canceling the printing based on the cancel instruction.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface;
- a touch panel;
- a memory;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- perform printing of internal data stored in the memory, in response to receiving a print instruction;
- receive via the touch panel a cancel instruction to cancel the printing of the internal data stored in the memory;
- cancel the printing when the cancel instruction has been received via the touch panel while the printing of the internal data stored in the memory is being performed in response to the print instruction received via not the communication interface from an external device but the touch panel;
- and
- continue without canceling the printing, when the cancel instruction has been received via the touch panel while the printing of the internal data stored in the memory is being performed in response to the print instruction received via not the touch panel but the communication interface from the external device.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface;
- a touch panel;
- a memory;
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- perform printing based on a print job received via the communication interface;
- receive via the touch panel a cancel instruction to cancel the printing based on the received print job;
- display a first-mode screen on the display, when determining whether to cancel the print job in response to the cancel instruction received via the touch panel while the print job is being received, based on a first condition;
- and
- display a second-mode screen on the display, when determining whether to cancel the printing in response to the cancel instruction received via the touch panel while the printing is being performed, based on a second condition different from the first condition.
