Abstract

Provided is a printing system in which a setting for an information terminal is easy when POS application software that runs on a server is used from the information terminal. A POS system comprises: the server on which the POS application software runs; the information terminal; and a printer connected so as to enable communication with the server via the Internet. The printer is provided with: a local communication unit that establishes communication with the information terminal; a communication relay unit that connects the information terminal and the server so as to enable communication therebetween; a setting information acquisition unit that acquires setting information that from the server, sets the POS application software; and an application setting unit that on the basis of the setting information, sets the POS application software, and lets the POS application software be used from the information terminal.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of Japanese Patent No. 2012-066923 filed on March 23, 2012, and Japanese Patent No. 2012-079643 filed on March 30, 2012, and the contents thereof are hereby cited . technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a printing system including a server, an information terminal, and a printer communicably connected via a network, and a printer of the printing system. Background technique [0003] In the printing system described above, a printer is connected to an information terminal communicably connected to the Internet, and communication between the printer and a server is performed via the information terminal (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0004] In addition, in a system in which a server is connected to an information terminal via the Internet, and the application software operated by the server is used from the information terminal, if the Internet line status becomes unstable, the operation of the appli...
