Abstract

The printing apparatus according to the present invention includes: a plurality of interfaces for respectively accessing a plurality of storage media storing printing target data; An exclusive control unit that can set one of the two or more interfaces as an effective interface; by setting an effective interface by the exclusive control unit, the image processing that reads the printing object data from the corresponding storage medium A unit; a print processing unit that prints the print target data read by the image processing unit. Thus, the present invention provides a printing device that is versatile in that it can use different storage media, and at the same time allows each user to enjoy good operability.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printing device, and more particularly to a printing device capable of performing printing processing by itself. Background technique [0002] 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. [0003] 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. [0004] The user inserts the memory card storing the image data captured by the digital still camera into the slot of the main body, and can issue printing instructions to the stand-alone printer by operating the panel. [0005] However, the above-mentioned conventional stand-alone ...
