<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer capable of outputting an accurate residual quantity of toner. <P>SOLUTION: The printer is configured so that, when the toner residual quantity value is defined as Vc, a value added with, after a residual quantity value outputted from a printing engine has changed into Lp, the product of the total number Nc of dots plotted by the printing engine up to that point multiplied by a proportional coefficient R to the residual quantity value Lp of toner is calculated and outputted in a step S205. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
