Abstract
In a case where a first print execution instruction including first user identification information is received from a first terminal device, a printer may execute printing and determine whether a usage amount of the printer by a first user identified by the first user identification information is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount by using first print history information in association with the first user identification information. In a case where it is determined that the usage amount of the printer by the first user is equal to or greater than the predetermined amount, the printer may display a first screen. In a case where it is determined that the usage amount of the printer by the first user is less than the predetermined amount, the first screen is not displayed.
