Abstract
The present application provides a printing device and a control method of the printing device. The problem is that there is a possibility that a high-priced and large power supply is required. The printing device includes a communication unit capable of communicating with an external device, a connector capable of connecting with either of a first peripheral device and a second peripheral device, a printing unit that performs printing on a recording paper, and a control unit that controls the printing unit, the control unit being configured to, when a first instruction is received through the communication unit, transmit a drive command to the first peripheral device through the connector to drive even if a printing process by the printing unit is in progress, and when a second instruction is received through the communication unit, transmit a drive signal to the second peripheral device through the connector to drive when the printing unit is not performing printing.
