Abstract

The printer according to the present invention comprises: a plurality of interfaces for respectively accessing a plurality of storage media having subject data to be printed stored therein; an exclusive controlling element for determining, when access can be made to storage media loaded in two or more interfaces out of the plurality of interfaces, one interface out of the two or more interfaces as a valid interface; an image processing element for reading subject data to be printed from a storage medium loaded in the valid interface determined by the exclusive controlling element; and a printing processing element for printing the subject data that was read by the image processing element; said exclusive controlling element gives priority to said interface when the digital camera can be accessed by one of the interfaces. Thus, it is possible to provide a printer having great versatility so that various kinds of storage media can be used therewith and having great usability for individual users.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application number "03803208.2", the filing date is March 14, 2003, and the title of the invention is "Printing Device and Control Method for Printing Device". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a printing device, and more particularly to a printing device capable of performing printing processing by itself. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, so-called stand-alone printers have been released that can print predetermined data on a printing medium as a single unit without being connected to a host device typified by a personal computer. [0004] Such a stand-alone independent printer is provided with an operation panel for setting printing instructions and various printing conditions on the main body, or an interface for reading a storage medium storing printing object data. Used for image data captured by a camera, etc. [0005] The user inserts the memory card storing the image data...
