ABSTRACT:
A printing system in which different types of printing media are each selectively used for printing, making it easy for the user to check the type of printing medium set in a printer, to change the printing medium set in the printer to another type of printing media, and to set printer setup values for each printing medium. The printing system includes a printer (1) and at least one host computer (3). Different types of form sheets are set in the sheet paths of the printer (1). Form sheet data is registered in a memory of the printer (1). The form sheet data contains the names and size values of the form sheets, sheet paths, presence or absence of a desired form sheet. A printer checker (3) fetches form sheet data from the printer (1), and loads it into a register (33). A printer customizer (35) has the functions to push the form sheet data out of the register (33) and visually present it on a monitor screen (25), to send new form sheet data to the printer (1) and register it in the memory of the printer, and to recognize a form sheet selected by the user as a form sheet, to be used for printing.
