Abstract
A printing apparatus having a read-in device operative to read in printing-environment characteristic information recorded on a first recording device provided on the printing medium, the printing-environment characteristic information indicating a printing-environment characteristic of the printing medium. The printing apparatus further having a control device operative to control a printing process based on the printing-environment characteristic information read in by the read-in device.
Claims29
