Printer apparatus

摘要

A printer apparatus comprises an insertion and discharging port; a first conveyance path configured to convey a first printing medium inserted from the insertion and discharging port towards a given printing position in a downstream direction, and convey the first printing medium in a direction opposite to the downstream direction and discharge the first printing medium from the insertion and discharging port; a first printing section configured to carry out printing on the first printing medium conveyed to the printing position; a second printing section configured, viewed from the insertion and discharging port, at the downstream side of the first printing section and configured to have a printing method different from that of the first printing section; a second conveyance path configured to merge with the first conveyance path at the downstream side of the first printing section of the first conveyance path so as to discharge a second printing medium printed by the second printing section through the first conveyance path from the insertion and discharging port; a collection section configured at the downstream side of a mergence section of the first conveyance path and the second conveyance path; a collected medium determination section configured to determine the medium category of the first printing medium and the second printing medium collected in the collection section and grant a collected medium value for each medium; a total collection calculation section configured to add up the collected medium values of the media collected in the collection section; and a notification section configured to notify an instruction of removing the collected media from the collection section depending on a result of a comparison of an collection allowable value calculated according to the allowed collection quantity of the collection section and the value of the total collection calculation section.
