ABSTRACT:
The processing system described by the invention comprises a memory means for storing print information and a printer for printing the print information stored in the memory means. The printing means using exchangeable printing material to print the print information. The printer has a detector which detects when the printing material is used up. The processing system further includes a controller for controlling the printer which in response to the detection of the using-up of the printing material, stops the printer. After the used-up printing material is exchanged, the controller restarts the printer and the remaining portion of the print information is printed, connected to the earlier portion in a smooth manner and that there is no evidence of the interruption. print information when the printing material is used up in the middle of the printing of the print information. The controller restarts the printer to print the remaining portion of the print information in connection to the portion of the print information has been printed after the used-up printing material is exchanged.
