Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily get the state of a printer by incorporating the function, which prints out the state of a storage means, in the printer. CONSTITUTION:Printing data and control information are decoded by a decoding means 1, and control information is stored in a storage means 2. Contents of the means 2 are converted to printing data by an output means 3 and are sent to a switching means 4. Printing data from the means 1 is sent to the means 4 also. The means 4 selects one printing data and supplies it to a printing means, and data is printed on a form. The switching means 4 performs the selecting operation by the output of an operating means 5.

The printing device receives various control information in addition to the printing data itself from a computer device called a host device.
Various functions are executed using this control information. For example, it starts or stops a certain function, or stores additional information. Conventionally, in order to check whether various functions of a printing device are started, stopped, or stored, display elements were placed on the operation panel of the printing device. The only options were to use a device or actually try printing.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention. In Figure 1, 11
indicates data sent from the host device, which includes print data and various control information. Reference numeral 1 indicates a decoding means, which decodes printed data and control information. The control information is stored in the storage means 2 through 12. The state of the storage means 2 is converted into print data by the output means 3 and inputted to the switching means 4 through 14. Another input 15 of the switching means 4 is data 1 from the host device.
This is the print data included in 1. The switching means 4 selects one of the two print data, resulting in an output 17.
