Abstract

A control device includes a processor configured to: acquire information on a direction in which continuous paper is wound up, specify a viewable surface, which is a surface of the continuous paper viewable from a user in a state where the continuous paper has been wound up, on a basis of the direction in which the continuous paper is wound up, and control a printer to print print information, which is information on a job printed on the continuous paper, on the viewable surface.

Claims (46)

1. A control device comprising

a processor configured to

acquire information on a direction in which continuous paper is wound up,

specify a viewable surface, which is a surface of the continuous paper viewable from a user in a state where the continuous paper has been wound up, on a basis of the direction in which the continuous paper is wound up, and

control a printer to print print information, which is information on a job printed on the continuous paper, on the viewable surface, wherein

the processor is configured to control the printer to print the print information on both surfaces of the continuous paper in a case where the processor fails to acquire the information on the direction in which the continuous paper is wound up.

2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to acquire the information on the direction in which the continuous paper is wound up after a print instruction to print the job is received from the user and before print control based on the print instruction is performed.

3. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to

receive a designation instruction to designate a printing surface on which the print information is to be printed, and

perform control for outputting a warning in a case where the printing surface designated by the designation instruction is different from the viewable surface of the continuous paper.

4. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor is configured to

receive a designation instruction to designate a printing surface on which the print information is to be printed, and

perform in control for outputting a warning in a case where the printing surface designated by the designation instruction is different from the viewable surface of the continuous paper.

5. The control device according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is configured to:

receive a re-designation instruction to designate again the printing surface on which the print information is to be printed after outputting the warning, and

control the printer to print the print information on the printing surface designated by the re-designation instruction.

6. The control device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to

receive a re-designation instruction to designate again the printing surface on which the print information is to be printed after outputting the warning, and

control the printer to print the print information on the printing surface designated by the re-designation instruction.

7. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the printer to print the print information on a recording medium different from the continuous paper in a case where a target on which the print information is to be printed is not the continuous paper.

8. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the printer to print the print information on a recording medium different from the continuous paper in a case where a target on which the print information is to be printed is not the continuous paper.

9. The control device according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the printer to print the print information on a recording medium different from the continuous paper in a case where a target on which the print information is to be printed is not the continuous paper.

10. The control device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the printer to print the print information on a recording medium different from the continuous paper in a case where a target on which the print information is to be printed is not the continuous paper.

11. The control device according to claim 5 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the printer to print the print information on a recording medium different from the continuous paper in a case where a target on which the print information is to be printed is not the continuous paper.

12. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to further acquire information on the continuous paper and perform control for changing a target on which the print information is to be printed in accordance with a kind of continuous paper.

13. The control device according to claim 12 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the printer to print the print information on a recording medium different from the continuous paper in a case where information other than the job has been printed in advance on the continuous paper.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

acquiring information on a direction in which continuous paper is wound up;

specifying a viewable surface, which is a surface of the continuous paper viewable from a user in a state where the continuous paper has been wound up, on a basis of the direction in which the continuous paper is wound up; and

controlling a printer to print print information, which is information on a job printed on the continuous paper, on the viewable surface, wherein

the process further comprising controlling the printer to print the print information on both surfaces of the continuous paper in a case where the process fails to acquire the information on the direction in which the continuous paper is wound up.

15. A printer comprising

the control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein print information, which is information on a job printed on continuous paper, is printed on a printing surface of the continuous paper designated by the control device.
