Abstract
A portable printer forms a portion of an image in accordance with image data. A built-in battery provides energy to form the portion of the image. The portable printer predicts whether a remaining capacity of the battery, after the portion of the image has been formed, will be larger than a predetermined reference termination value. The portion of the image is not formed if the remaining capacity of the battery is predicted to be less than the predetermined value.
