Abstract

PURPOSE:To make clear the contents of a message (alarm, etc.) by printing this message via the print function of a printer. CONSTITUTION:A printer is initialized with application of a power supply and it is judged whether the printer is kept in an alarm state or not. If not, a normal printing process is carried out. Then the presence/absence of an alarm state is monitored during a printing process. This monitor action is repeated. When an alarm state is confirmed, a message concerning the alarm state is printed to finish the process. Thus the contents of a message (alarm, etc.) can be displayed in detail by means of the printing function of the printer.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、プリンタのメツセージ表示方法に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a message display method for a printer.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来、この種のプリンタではメツセージ(アラーム等)
の表示としてランプ、LED、ブザー等が用いられてい
た。
Traditionally, this type of printer has been used to send messages (alarms, etc.)
Lamps, LEDs, buzzers, etc. were used as indicators.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

しかしながら、これらではメツセージの詳しい内容を表

Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the power is turned on (START), initialization (INTT, ) is first performed. Then, it is determined whether the printer is in an alarm state or not, and if the printer is not in an alarm state, normal printing processing is performed. Then, while performing the printing process, it is monitored whether or not there is an alarm state, and this process is repeated.

もし、アラーム状態となったならば、そのアラームに関
