Printing device, notification method, and ink ribbon cassette

摘要

A printing device includes a printing mechanism that allows a loop-shaped ink ribbon to be detachably installed therewith, and applies an impact to the ink ribbon to transfer ink of the ink ribbon to a printing medium, a cumulative printed amount acquisition section that acquires a cumulative printed amount of the printing mechanism after the ink ribbon installed on the printing mechanism was last exchanged, a determination section that determines whether or not the cumulative printed amount acquired by the cumulative printed amount acquisition section has reached a predetermined first printing amount, or whether or not the cumulative printed amount has reached a second printing amount to be calculated based on the first printing amount, and an output control section that causes an output device to output a predetermined output if the determination section determines that the cumulative printed amount reaches the first or second printing amount.

1. A printing device comprising:
a printing mechanism that allows a loop-shaped ink ribbon to be detachably installed, and applies an impact to the ink ribbon to transfer ink of the ink ribbon to a printing medium; a cumulative printed amount acquisition section that acquires a cumulative printed amount of the printing mechanism based upon installation of the ink ribbon on the printing mechanism; a determination section that determines whether or not the cumulative printed amount acquired by the cumulative printed amount acquisition section has reached a predetermined first printing amount, or whether or not the cumulative printed amount has reached a second printing amount calculated based on the first printing amount; and an output control section that causes an output device to output a predetermined output if the determination section determines that the cumulative printed amount has reached one of the first printing amount and the second printing amount.
