<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer which appropriately informs a progress status of direct printing or the like. <P>SOLUTION: The printer 100 includes an interface part 5 which can connect a storage medium 200, and carries out data processing to data of a printing object stored in the storage medium 200. The printer has a measuring part 10 which measures an access speed proper to the storage medium 200 that determines a speed of data processing when the storage medium 200 is connected to the interface part 5, a calculating part 11 which calculates an access time required for data processing from a size of the data and the access speed, and an informing part 12 which informs the progress status of data processing by displaying a progress bar indicative of the progress status of data processing to a display part 4 during execution of data processing when the access time is longer than a preliminarily set time, and which informs the progress status of data processing by displaying the progress bar to the display part 4 for the preliminarily set time after completion of data processing when the access time is shorter than the preliminarily set time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
