<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform an easy addition of a new media compatibility to a printer. <P>SOLUTION: An IC tag in which a media related information has been stored is embedded in a media (for example, embedded in a core of a roll paper) and the printer reads the media related information in the IC tag at the time of loading the media on the printer (in addition, a product name and a series name of a printer are also included since a printing method is decided depending on a printer). The printer thereby updates a media related information stored in itself, and the media related information of the media is transmitted to a computer connected by a network and the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
