Abstract
A history recording apparatus comprises an EEPROM for storing operation history data regarding a predetermined operation performed by a label printer, and an IC socket provided on a circuit board of the label printer and detachably connectable to the EEPROM. In particular, the history recording apparatus further comprises a CPU for updating the operation history data stored in the nonvolatile memory connected to the IC socket, upon detection of the predetermined operation having been performed a preset number of times which is determined on the basis of a writing tolerance limit of the EEPROM.
Claims7
A history recording apparatus, comprising:
- a nonvolatile memory for storing operation history data regarding a predetermined operation of an electronic apparatus, the storing of operation history data which predetermined operation is repeated at variable intervals;
- a socket mounted on a circuit board of said electronic apparatus, for holding said nonvolatile memory such that said nonvolatile memory is detachably connected to said socket;
- and
- control means for updating the operation history data stored in said nonvolatile memory connected to said socket, upon detection of the predetermined operation having been performed a preset number of times which is determined on the basis of a writing tolerance limit of said nonvolatile memory.
A printer apparatus comprising:
- printing means for printing a variety of images on paper;
- and
- control means for controlling the printing means;
- said control means including:
- a nonvolatile memory for storing operation history data regarding a predetermined operation which predetermined operation is repeated at variable intervals;
- a socket mounted on a circuit board of said control means for holding said nonvolatile memory such that said nonvolatile memory is detachably connected to said socket;
- and
- processing means for updating the operation history data stored in said nonvolatile memory connected to said socket, upon detection of the predetermined operation having been performed a preset number of times which is determined on the basis of a writing tolerance limit of said nonvolatile memory.
