Abstract
A printing device includes: a supply tray; a sensor; a print unit; a memory; and a controller. The sensor is configured to selectively output a first signal indicating absence of a sheet on the supply tray and a second signal indicating presence of a sheet on the supply tray. The controller is configured to: create first authentication information when the first signal changes to the second signal; store the first authentication information in the memory; accept a job that uses a sheet on the supply tray; determine that a first job is accepted, the first job being such a job that accompanies second authentication information, the first job being executable when the second authentication information is in coincidence with the first authentication information; and control the print unit to execute the first job.
