Abstract
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a storage body management program for executing steps is provided. In a registration step, a total number of owned storage bodies including the storage body attached to an attaching part is acquired and registered. In a totalization step, consumption amounts of the storage bodies in the printer are totalized based on an identification result and a detection result. In a calculation step, an average consumption amount per unit period of the storage bodies are calculated based on a totalization result. In a prediction step, a consumption completion timing of the storage bodies is predicted based on a registration result and a calculation result. In an order step, an order process for at least one type of the storage bodies is executed in accordance with a prediction result and an expected delivery period of the storage bodies.
