US 2026/0032201 A1 · PRINTER CONFIGURING TARGET PARAMETER SET AS ACTIVE PARAMETER SET AVAILABLE FOR PROCESSING

Abstract

A printer includes a communication interface, a memory, and a controller including one or more processors. The controller perform an activation process under an activation start condition including a requirement that a target parameter set including a plurality of target parameters is stored in the memory as an inactive parameter set not available for processing in the printer, a requirement that an activation command is received from an external device via the communication interface, and a requirement that the activation command is a command to activate the target parameter set. The activation process includes configuring the target parameter set as an active parameter set available for processing in the printer. The controller performs and a controlling process under a controlling condition including a requirement that the activation process is completed. The controlling process is based on the target parameter set.

A printer comprising:

a communication interface;
a memory;
and
a controller including one or more processors,
wherein the controller is configured to perform:
an accessing process under an access condition including:
a requirement that a first parameter set is stored in the memory as an active parameter set available for processing in the printer;
and a requirement that the first parameter set includes a first address parameter indicating a first address, the accessing process including:
accessing a first destination specified by the first address via the communication interface;

reducing a warning frequency, the warning frequency being a frequency of execution of a first warning process based on a consumption level regarding a consumable.

9 more elements

A printer comprising:

a communication interface;
a user interface;
a memory;
and
a controller including one or more processors,
wherein the controller is configured to perform:
an accessing process under an access condition including:
a requirement that a target parameter set is stored in the memory as an active parameter set available for processing in the printer;
and a requirement that the target parameter set includes an address parameter indicating an address, the accessing process including:
accessing a first destination specified by the address via the communication interface;
and
either a first process or a second process,
wherein the first process includes:
a first display process under a condition including:
a requirement that the target parameter set is stored in the memory as the active parameter set available for processing in the printer;
and a requirement that the accessing process is not started, the first display process including:
displaying a standby screen in which a display object is placed in a first mode on the user interface, the display object being for issuing an instruction to access the first destination specified by the address;
and
a first switching process under a first switching condition including a requirement that the accessing process is completed, the first switching process including:
switching the display object from the first mode to a second mode different from the first mode,
wherein the second process includes:
a second display process under a condition including:
a requirement that the target parameter set is stored in the memory as the active parameter set available for processing in the printer;
and a requirement that the accessing process is not started, the second display process including:
displaying the standby screen in which the display object is placed in an enabled state where an access instruction to access the first destination specified by the address can be issued when the display object is operated;
and
a second switching process under a second switching condition including a requirement that the accessing process is completed, the second switching process including:
switching the display object from the enabled state to one of:
a first disabled state where the display object cannot be operated;
or a second disabled state where the access instruction cannot be issued based on an operation of the display object.
