Processing system and pos system

A first printerhas a connection unit to which data is input and which outputs print data based on the input data; a first printer print unitthat prints; a detection unitB that detects if the input printing result contains an error when the printing result of the print data output from the connection unit is input; a reprint storage unitA that stores print data when the detection unitB detects an error; and a reprint control unitF that outputs print data stored in the reprint storage unitA from the connection unit when a predetermined specific condition is met.

Printing system and printing device

A POS systemincludes a reading devicethat reads and outputs member information; a POS terminalthat executes a transaction process and outputs receipt print data based on the transaction process; and a print control device. The print control devicehas a device communication unitthat receives the member information; a communication interfacethat receives the receipt print data; a storage unitthat stores the member information received by the device communication unit; and a network communication unitthat transmits first data relating the member information and the receipt print data.

POS system and print device

The configuration of printing devices can be changed in a system that controls printing devices without changing the configuration of the control device. A first printerhas a first printer print unit; a USB interfacethat connects to a host computer; and a device information storage unitB that stores device information including the type of a print unit different from the first printer print unit; the device control unitoutputting device information stored in the device information storage unitB to the host computerwhen the host computeris connected.

A first printerhas a connection unit that receives print data input from a POS terminal, and outputs the print data to and receives the result of printing the output print data from a second printer, and a first printer print unitthat prints the received print data or data based on the received print data. When the result of printing the print data input to the connection unit is an error, the first printeruses the first printer print unitto print the print data, and outputs the result of printing by the first printer print unitfrom the connection unit.

Printing system, printing device, and printing method

A printer can be connected to a computer or other host device without being limited by the type of data processed by the printer. A POS systemhas a POS terminalconnected to a first printerthat has a print unit. The print data acquisition unitof the first printeracquires data output by the POS terminal. A conversion unitapplies at least one of a process of converting graphic data to text data, and a process of converting text data to graphic data, to the data acquired by the data acquisition unit, and the conversion unitoutputs the resulting converted data.
