A model-specific databaseprovided on a print control memberof a printer stores setting commands for a plurality of print stations, and menu information to be displayed on an operation panel. A maintenance processing memberobtains from the model-specific database, a menu corresponding to the model IDof the print station, and displays the menu on the operation panel exposed at the printer housing. A maintenance operator carries out adjustment of the print station by operating the operation panel. Since processes and the like depending on the model of the print station are concentrated in the maintenance processing memberand the model-specific database, other structures of the print control membercan be configured so as not to depend on the model of the print station.
