There is provided a liquid discharge apparatus for forming an image on a medium by discharging a liquid, including: a first discharge head that discharges a liquid; and a first temperature indicating section provided in the first surface, in which the first temperature indicating section indicates that a temperature of the first temperature indicating section is lower than a first threshold value in a first state, and indicates that the temperature of the first temperature indicating section is equal to or higher than the first threshold value in a second state, and the first state and the second state change reversibly, and at least a part of the first temperature indicating section overlaps at least a part of the first propagation wiring in a normal direction of the wiring substrate.

Liquid discharge apparatus

A printer control method enables even non-technical users to quickly and accurately set printer information in a printer. A control method of a printer having a first interface that connects through a first communication cable to a host computer, and a second interface that connects to nonvolatile memory storing printer information through a second communication cable, the nonvolatile memory being attached to the first communication cable, reads the printer information from the nonvolatile memory through the second communication cable and the second interface, and sets the read printer information in the printer, at a specific time.

Control method of a printer, printer and printer set with memory attached to a communication cable

To reliably read settings information PD (network settings PD, printer settings PD) from memory and correctly set the settings information PD in a printer, a wireless tagstoring the settings information PD is disposed to a cover memberthat is removably installable to a network-connectable printing unit, a reading devicethat reads the settings information PD from the wireless tagis disposed to the printing unit, and a configuratorconfigures settings based on the read settings information PD.

Printer and printer control method enabling consistently reading settings information

A fiscal board receiving case is provided. A management board receiving case includes a case main body and a lid connected to the case main body and receives a management board on which a memory storing data including fiscal information and a management board-side connector are mounted. A control board receiving case includes a case main body and a lid connected to the case main body and receives a control board on which a controller and a control board-side connector connected to the management board-side connector are mounted. The management board receiving case and the control board receiving case are configured such that one box-like body that receives at least the management board is formed while the management board-side connector and the control board-side connector are connected to each other by engaging the management board receiving case with the control board receiving case through engagement members provided in the cases. The management board receiving case and the control board receiving case are configured such that engagement between the cases and engagement between the case main body and the lid in each of the cases are irreversibly maintained after the cases are engaged with each other.

Fiscal board receiving case and fiscal printer

An electronic apparatus is provided. A management hoard includes: a control section; a real-time clock that outputs data indicating current date and time to the control section; a memory that stores fiscal data including the data indicating the current date and time and fiscal information under the control of the control section; and a power source that supplies power to the real-time clock through a power supply path. A housing box includes a box main body and a cover. The housing box that houses the management board. When the cover is in a closed state, the power supply path is formed and the power is supplied to the real-time clock. When the cover is placed in an open state, the power supply path is shut off and the power supplied to the real-time clock is shut off.

Electronic apparatus and method of controlling electronic apparatus

A fiscal printer reliably stores and holds, using a simple configuration, the date and time that a fiscal control circuit board is removed from the printer, and provides excellent security so that improper activities can be reliably discovered. The fiscal printerhas a removable fiscal control circuit board, and mounted thereon are fiscal memory, a backup battery power supply, a real-time clock, and a detection circuitfor detecting removal of the fiscal control circuit board. The real-time clockincludes an input terminal() to which detection signals from the detection circuitare input, and a storage unitthat, when a detection signal indicating that the fiscal control circuit boardwas removed is input, stores data indicating that the fiscal control circuit boardwas removed correlated to and associated with the time when the detection signal was input.
