  When this application is activated, in step S901, information transmitted from the host PC 100 is received, and it is determined whether the data sent in step S902 is a form data registration command. In step S903, the form data is stored in the form data buffer memory and the non-volatile memory, and in step S901, data reception from the host PC 100 is waited again.

  If it is determined in step S902 that the received data is not form data, it is next determined in step S904 whether the received data is object information. If the sent data is an object determination data command, the object determination data is stored in the object determination data buffer memory and the non-volatile memory in step S905, and data reception from the host PC 100 is awaited again in step S901. .

  If it is determined in step S904 that the received data is not object determination data, it is then determined in step S906 whether the received data is recording data. If the sent data is not recorded data, it is determined that the command is an invalid command, and data reception from the host PC 100 is awaited again in step S901.

  If it is determined in step S906 that the received data is recording data, it is determined in step S907 whether the recording data is “printing permitted (recording permitted)” from the object determination data. If the determination result is not “printing permitted” (that is, “printing is not permitted”), an error is notified in step S908 and the recording process is terminated. As an error notification method, the operation panel 106 can be displayed by LCD or LED display, sound output, or the like.

  If it is determined in step S907 that the recording data can be recorded, the recording data is developed in the image buffer memory based on the data format of the form data in step S909, and the printing process of the recording medium is performed in step S910. The recording medium is transported, and the image image developed in the image buffer is recorded by each recording head.

It is assumed that it is registered as “prescription drug” and “age”. Although not shown here, the object ID 01 and object ID 06 are instructed not to be printed because the “drawing valid” setting is invalid when form data is registered.

  Subsequently, it is assumed that the object determination data 1 to 3 are registered as shown in FIG. Each object determination data has the following meaning.

  In the determination condition 1 by the first determination command, if the recording data for the object ID 01 matches the password “Lec5dfin”, it indicates that “printing is permitted”. The password is required to be input to the user prior to printing the recording data.

  In the determination condition 2 by the second determination command, if the recorded data for the object ID 06 and the object ID 07 is (“ABC disease” and “abc drug”) or (“DEF disease” and “def drug”), “ "Print permission".

  The determination condition 3 by the third determination command indicates that “printing is permitted” if the recording data for the object ID 08 is not “child”.

  When all of these first to third determination conditions are satisfied, it is determined that “printing is permitted”.

  Now, assume that recording data is received as shown in FIG. At this time, if a determination is made based on the object determination data in FIG. 11B, the following determination result is obtained.

  In Example 1, since all of the determination conditions 1 to 3 are “printing permission”, the recording data can be recorded and printing is performed.

  Example 2 is an example in which the input data for the object ID 01 is input by mistake. In this case, since the determination condition 1 is “printing impossible”, an error occurs and printing is not performed.

  Example 3 is an example in which the input data for the prescription drug with the object ID 07 is erroneously input. In this case, since the determination condition 2 is “printing impossible”, an error occurs and printing is not performed.

  As a result, only in the case of Example 1, printing as shown in FIG.
