Abstract
A multifunction device that has functions for reading media and printing tickets, and produces tickets on which an image reflecting the result of reading the medium is recorded under the control of a control device, can quickly reprint a ticket when a command to reprint the ticket is received. When image data is written to a first buffer, the ticket production control unitof the multifunction devicecopies the image data to a second buffer. When a command to reprint the ticket is received, the ticket production control unitcauses a thermal printer unitto record an image on thermal roll paper based on the image data copied to the second buffer, and then cuts the thermal roll paper to reproduce the ticket.
