Abstract
Description
以下、実施形態に従う画像形成装置の一例であるサーマルプリンターを導入したPOS(Point of Sales)システム1について、添付図面を参照しながら詳しく説明する。なお、各図において、同一構成については同一の符号を付す。
続いて、ヘルスチェックプロセスの変形例について説明する。図8は、第2実施形態のPOSプリンター4が実行するヘルスチェックプロセスのフローチャートである。第2実施形態のPOSプリンター4は、ヘルスチェックプロセスを開始するトリガーが異なることを除けば、第1実施形態のPOSプリンター4と同じである。すなわち、図1〜図5に示した構成と同じである。
