Printing suspension control for a printer having multiple printing mechanisms
Abstract:
A printer having multiple printing mechanisms has a printing device configured to execute a printing process to repetitively print a character defined for a page with one of the multiple printing mechanisms, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine, while the printing device is executing a first printing process which is the printing process for one page with use of the first printing mechanism, whether a first instruction to suspend the first printing process is received, print a page which is being printed when the first instruction is received to an end, and suspend the first printing process thereafter when the first instruction is received, determine whether a second instruction to start a second printing process with use of a second printing mechanism is received after the first printing process is suspended, and execute the second printing process when the second instruction is received.
