Abstract
A media processing device, control method therefor, and associated program prevent a drop in the throughput of a media production process due to cleaning the print head. A publisher has a media drive, a transportation unit that conveys a recording medium according to a transportation command received from a host, and a printer that discharges ink from the nozzles of a print head to print on the label side of the recording medium. The printer also applies a cleaning process to the print head according to an internal signal that is generated when the transportation command or a data write command is received from a host. The cleaning process is executed while the media is conveyed.
