ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a printer for making a printout in accordance with printing data containing a control command sent from a high rank apparatus. The printer comprises control means for changing and controlling a printing mode according to the control command sent from the high rank apparatus; memory means for storing predetermined set data; inhibiting means for inhibiting a control operation of the control means associated with a specific control command sent from the high rank apparatus in accordance with set contents of the set data; and indicating means for indicating the set contents of the set data in a mode in which the printer is ready to receive a control command from the high rank apparatus. Accordingly, the set status of a special mode for inhibiting the operation in response to a specific control command is indicated in a state where the printer is ready to receive printing data containing a control command from the high rank apparatus. Even when the printing data sent to the printer differs from the printing result, therefore, the user can easily understand the cause for the difference, thus significantly improving the operability of the printer.
