Abstract
The disclosure discloses a printer including a communication device, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores computer-executable instructions that cause the printer to perform a connection control process, an operation control process, and a mode control process. In the connection control process, an exclusive connection with a first operation terminal is established while excluding at least one second operation terminal. In the operation control process, printing is performed by controlling plurality of operation mechanisms after establishment of the exclusive connection. In the mode control process, a first switching mode or a second switching mode is selectively executed. The exclusive connection established with the first operation terminal is disconnected at a predetermined timing after completion of the printing in the first switching mode. The exclusive connection established with the first operation terminal is maintained without being disconnected at the predetermined timing in the second switching mode.
