A power receiving device includes a storage and a computer. The computer stores a first operating condition indicating a past operating condition of the power receiving device in the storage. The computer detects a power supplying capacity within which a power supplying device can supply power and identifies a specific value in relation to the first operating condition from the storage. The computer sets an incoming power based on both the detected power supplying capacity and the identified specific value, thereby allowing the power supplying device to send the set incoming power.

Power receiving device, with computer, setting incoming power based on specific value and power supplying capacity of power supplying device

A printing apparatus connectable to an external power supply having a plurality of outputtable electric power information, including: a printing head performing printing by electric power supplied from the external power supply; and a controller configured to: obtain the plurality of electric power information; determine whether the printing can be performed if electric power indicated by the obtained electric power information is supplied from the external power supply; decide, as request electric power information, any one of the electric power information indicating possible electric powers; request the external power supply to output electric power indicated by the request electric power information; calculate a print control value for controlling the printing head based on the decided request electric power information; and control the printing head to perform the printing based on the calculated print control value.
