Print controlling method and print controlling device

A device for controlling printing of at least one of a plurality of digital images, which is incorporated in an apparatus provided with a display adapted to display at least one of the digital images, the device comprising:

• a first judge, operable to judge which one of a first mode and a second mode is selected, the first mode being a mode in which at least one print copy of at least one of the digital images is printed, and the second mode being a mode in which at least one and an identical number of print copies are printed for every one of the digital images, the identical number being user-selectable in the second mode;
• a display controller, operable to cause the display to display zero or no numeric value as a value indicative of a number of print copies to be printed;
• a first instruction receiver, adapted to receive a first instruction for designating a number of print copies to be printed for at least one of the digital images;
• a display, displaying an identifier associated with one of the digital images;
• a second instruction receiver, adapted to receive a second instruction for executing the printing while the identifier associated with the one of the digital images is displayed in the display;
• a second judge, operable to judge whether the first instruction receiver receives the first instruction under a state where the first mode is selected;
• and
• a controller, in a case where the first mode is selected, operable to:
• print a single print copy of the digital image whose identifier is displayed in the display even though the zero or no numeric value is displayed in the display, in a case where the second instruction receiver receives the second instruction and the first instruction receiver receives no instruction;
• and
• print at least one and the designated number of print copies for the at least one of the digital images for which a number of print copies to be printed has been designated in the first instruction, in a case where the second instruction receiver receives the second instruction after the first instruction receiver receives the first instruction;
• wherein, in the case where the second instruction is received after the first instruction is received, the one of the digital images whose identifier is displayed in the display is not printed in a case where the number of print copies designated by the first instruction for the one of the digital images is zero or no numeric value, and the designated number of print copies for the one of the digital images whose identifier is displayed in the display is printed in a case where the number of print copies designated by the first instruction for the one of the digital images is one or more, and
• wherein the identifier is a downsized image of an associated one of the digital images.
