Abstract
In an information processing device, a controller acquires a plurality of sets of first and second information corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of first cartridges and a plurality of second cartridges replaced with respective ones of the plurality of first cartridges. The controller sets an order level for a target first cartridge using target second information of a target second cartridge, and sets at least one replacement target cartridge including the target first cartridge using the plurality of sets of first information. The at least one replacement target cartridge includes M-number first cartridges if the order level is a first level selected when the target second information represents a final residual quantity of printing agent greater than a reference. The at least one replacement target cartridge includes N-number first cartridges if the order level is a second level. N is greater than or equal to M.
