PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To report the state of a flash ROM before it fails. SOLUTION: In a printer having a flash ROM, when writing data designated from a main control unit 10 to the flash ROM, a memory access process unit 102 obtains a process time from a time measuring unit 104 for each write command to the flash ROM, and compares the process time with a timeout time predefined in a memory characteristic managing unit 106. Then the number of times that the timeout time has been exceeded is recorded. Once the write of the designated data is complete, the memory access process unit 102 displays the recorded number of times on a display via a user I/F control unit 108. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
