Abstract
A printer comprising a key-in unit, a cartridge detecting unit, a data storage, a ROM, a font memory, a display control unit, a display, a print control unit, a printing unit, and a controller. When a cartridge which contains a printing medium is placed in the printing unit, the color of the printing medium is then determined through the cartridge detecting unit. The user inputs character data, etc., without specifying any print colors from the key-in unit. The input character data is then stored in the data storage. When such input character data is printed, the controller automatically sets the color of a character printing pattern at a color predetermined in correspondence to the color of the printing medium determined through the cartridge detecting unit. The printing unit prints the character data, etc., in the color set by the controller.
