Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printer.
  • Printers are used by connecting them to a host device such as a personal computer, tablet terminal, or cash register.
  • the printer has firmware
  • the host device has a printer driver that is compatible with the connected printer in order to operate the printer, and the printer driver for the host device must be compatible with the connected printer.
  • a printer may be replaced with a new model or other printer model due to, for example, a malfunction, or a printer model other than the one already connected may be connected.
  • the host device is not a multi-function device such as a personal computer, that is, if the host device is, for example, a cash register, it is not possible to install a new printer driver in the cash register or update the printer firmware from the cash register, so as mentioned above, it is necessary to adjust the printer (update firmware, etc.) using a computer, which is a problem that takes a lot of time and effort.
  • the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a printer that can switch between setting information corresponding to multiple different types of printer drivers in a stand-alone state (printer alone) without being connected to a host device.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a printer.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a printer.
  • These are device IDs using a USB interface, where (a) shows a device ID corresponding to the model name Printer 3, (b) shows a device ID corresponding to the model name Printer 2, and (c) shows a device ID corresponding to the model name Printer 1.
  • These are device IDs via a parallel interface (IEEE1284), where (a) shows a device ID corresponding to the model name Printer 3, (b) shows a device ID corresponding to the model name Printer 2, and (c) shows a device ID corresponding to the model name Printer 1.
  • IEEE1284 parallel interface
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a communication unit of a printer is connected to a communication unit of a host PC via a USB interface or a parallel interface.
  • 5 is a flowchart showing a process flow in which the host PC operates the printer after the printer and the host PC are connected to each other.
  • 13 is a schematic diagram illustrating a printer changing a device ID of a model name Printer3 to a device ID of a model name Printer2 or a device ID of a model name Printer1.
  • FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a printer according to a second embodiment.
  • FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the printer shown in FIG. 8 .
  • 13 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of thermal paper on which a device ID is printed by a printer according to a second embodiment.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a printer 100
  • Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the printer 100.
  • the printer 100 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is one embodiment (embodiment 1) of a printer according to the present invention.
