no. 1 Embodiment

[0094] The present invention is a recording device having a printing function capable of printing on recording paper and a maintenance function for performing maintenance of components or mechanisms within the device. Examples of the recording device include recording devices of various recording methods such as an inkjet type, a laser beam type, and a thermal transfer type.

[0095] In the first embodiment, an inkjet type recording device is specifically exemplified. In addition, the present invention is not limited thereto, and can also be applied to, for example, recording devices of other recording methods described above, or facsimile devices or copiers equipped with such recording devices.

[0096] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a recording system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0097] In the recording device 100 , 1 is a CPU that controls various components of the recording device 100 . This control is realized, for ...

no. 2 Embodiment

[0148] In the first embodiment, a maintenance request command is sent from the recording device 100 to the host computer 200, and a maintenance execution command corresponding to the maintenance request command is sent from the host computer 200 to the recording device 100, whereby execution of maintenance of the recording device 100 is controlled. timing.

[0149] In contrast, in the second embodiment, the host computer 200 regularly inquires about the status of the recording device 100, detects the execution timing of maintenance, and sends a maintenance execution command to the recording device 100 based on the detection result, thereby controlling the maintenance of the recording device. execution timing.

[0150] Next, the processing executed in the recording system of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12 .

[0151] 10 and 12 are flowcharts showing processing executed in the recording device 100 . In addition, the processing described...

Abstract

Recording device, information processing device and control method and recording system are provided. A printing apparatus detects the execution timing of maintenance in the apparatus, and on the basis of the detection result, transmits to a host computer external device a first command that requests execution of maintenance. The apparatus receives a second command which corresponds to the first command and instructs execution of the maintenance. When the second command is received, a maintenance section executes the maintenance to be executed under the control of a maintenance control section.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording device that can perform maintenance operations for components or mechanisms constituting the recording device, an information processing device that controls the recording device, a recording system including the recording device and the information processing device, its control method, and a program. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in the form of a printer connected to a terminal such as a host computer, maintenance can only be performed automatically on the printer side. [0003] However, when a printer is configured as a recording unit of industrial equipment, etc., it may be difficult to maintain the printer functioning as the recording unit during the overall operation of the system. For example, when the main body (host computer) side controls the conveyance of recording paper, it is necessary to accurately adjust the timing of conveyance and recording. In such a system, if the recordin...
