<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer which quickly responds to an information acquisition command transmitted from a host device, or the like. <P>SOLUTION: A CPU 102 receives command data transmitted from the host device through an interface 109. When the command data are a printing command, a printing head 105 prints a character or figure specified by the printing command. When the command data are the information acquisition command, the CPU 102 obtains a parameter specified by the information acquisition command. When the equipment information of the printer 101 previously associated with the obtained parameter exists, the CPU 102 obtains the equipment information from a ROM 103, a flash EEPROM 106, etc. and transmits the equipment information to the host device through the interface 109. When the equipment information does not exist, the CPU 102 transmits previously set error information to the host device through the interface 109. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
