Printer capable of refusing receipt of printed materials sent from an unintended source
A printer ( 100 ) for printing based on a print job signal sent from a data processing device ( 200 ) registers print job signal sending sources and a message corresponding to each sending source in memory ( 111, 112 ). A controller ( 113 ) detects whether the sending source of a received print job signal is registered in memory. If the sending source is registered, a messaging unit ( 110, 111 ) outputs a corresponding message. Sending sources that are permitted to print can also be registered in memory ( 111, 112 ). In this case, the controller ( 113 ) detects whether the sending source of a received print job signal is registered in memory, and instructs the printer ( 110 ) to print only when the sending source is registered as permitted to print.
1. A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium for storing a program for controlling a printing system, said program configured to cause the printing system to implement a method comprising:
selecting a message from among a plurality of messages preregistered for a plurality of output destinations, said selection being based on output destination information contained in a print job to be executed; and
presenting the selected message to a user of the printing system.
2. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of messages are preregistered in a printer of the printing system.
3. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of messages are preregistered in a data processing device of the printing system.
4. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the selected message is an audio type message.
5. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the selected message is a displayed message.
