ABSTRACT:
A printer has a forced stop switch to stop the printer. The switch may be pressed to stop a print output immediately when the output state of the data transmitted from a computer is bad or when the print output is not one required by a user. This prevents waste of ribbon, ink, toner, paper etc. For example, when there is an error during the printing, if the printer continuously operates, then the consumption goods such as ribbon, ink, toner, paper, etc. is consumed, and that duration of the life of printer itself is shortened. In addition, time and electric power loss that comes with the initialization of the printer caused by turning the printer off, and then on in order to remove the error, can be prevented.
