A media processing device and a control method therefor separate the control unit that detects state changes and the control unit that controls executing processes according to a state change. The media processing device has a label printer 11 that prints to the label side of media, media stackers 21 and 22 that store media, a media transportation mechanism 31 that transports media to the label printer 11 and the media stackers 21 and 22, an automatic loader control unit 102 that controls the label printer 11 and the media transportation mechanism 31, and a main control unit 101 that sends control commands to the automatic loader control unit. The control method involves the automatic loader control unit 102 converting a state change in the label printer 11 or the media transportation mechanism 31 to a status signal and sending the status signal to the main control unit 101, and the main control unit 101 interpreting the received status report and executing a process corresponding to the result.
