Media processing device and method of controlling a media processing device

摘要

A compact media processing device enables recording on a process medium 4 and then processing the process medium 4 based on the result of recording. The media processing device conveys a process medium 4 and processes the conveyed process medium 4 by a first process unit disposed to the conveyance path W, and an operation selection unit 50C then determines the content of the next operation based on the result of the first process. After the next operation is determined, the conveyance control unit 50A conveys the process medium 4 upstream to or upstream of the process position of a second process unit. A process control unit 50D then applies the selected operation to the process medium 4 by the second process unit that is disposed downstream from the first process unit on the conveyance path W of the process medium.
