Benefits of technology

The patent describes a printing device that can determine if a specific condition is met and quickly connect to a host device to transmit data. The data includes information about transactions, and the printing device can quickly print a coupon based on this information. This allows for quicker and more efficient printing in a printing system.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, major changes must be made to the entire system, and modifying the system configuration is therefore not simple.

Abstract

A first printer 60 has a connection unit to which data is input and which outputs print data based on the input data; a first printer print unit 71 that prints; a detection unit 62B that detects if the input printing result contains an error when the printing result of the print data output from the connection unit is input; a reprint storage unit 65A that stores print data when the detection unit 62B detects an error; and a reprint control unit 62F that outputs print data stored in the reprint storage unit 65A from the connection unit when a predetermined specific condition is met.

Description

[0001]The entire disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No: 2012-219141, filed Oct. 1, 2012 is expressly incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present disclosure relates to a printing system and a printing device.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Systems that print receipts using a printer connected to a device such as a computer are known from the literature. See, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Appl. Pub. JP-A-2009-187078, and JP-A-2012-123597. The system disclosed in JP-A-2012-123597 has a printer that prints receipts and a printer that prints coupons, and prints receipts and coupons using plural printers.[0006]However, in order to print using plural printers as described in JP-A-2012-123597 in a system that controls a single printer as described in JP-A-2009-187078, the configuration may be changed by adding another printer, for example. When the configuration of printers is changed, the configuration of the control device must also be c...
