PURPOSE:To ensure that a local test printing is performed without receiving a command from a host computer by providing a control part and an indicator device such as a test printing switch on a printer. CONSTITUTION:An indicator device such as a test printing switch 38 is provided on a printer 1. If an instruction to such an effect that test printing is performed, the control part of the printer 1 interprets whether a macrocartridge 37 is loaded in the printer 1. If the macrocartridge 37 is not loaded in the printer, the control part reads test print data in memory on the printer 1 to prepare image data for printing and sends the data to the printing part. In addition, if the macrocartridge 37 is loaded, the control part of the printer 1 reads macro data in the macrocartridge 37 to prepare image data for printing and sends it to the control part. The control part prints data based on the mentioned image data. |
