PRINTING APPARATUS, PRINTING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17988109 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS, PRINTING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a printing apparatus that can perform printing according to a color mode setting using a detachable consumable part filled with printing material. The type of consumable part differs based on a contract, and the apparatus includes various units to control printing based on the contract status, color mode, and type of consumable part.

  • The printing apparatus can be attached with a consumable part filled with printing material.
  • The apparatus sets a contract status based on contract-related information.
  • It obtains the set color mode for printing.
  • It obtains the type of consumable part mounted on the apparatus, which corresponds to the contract status.
  • The print control unit controls printing based on the contract status, color mode, and type of consumable part.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various printing devices such as printers, copiers, and multifunction devices.
  • It can be applied in both personal and professional settings where printing is required.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of using different types of consumable parts based on a contract, ensuring compatibility and efficient printing.
  • It addresses the issue of controlling printing based on contract status and color mode settings.

Benefits

  • The printing apparatus allows for easy attachment and detachment of consumable parts, making it convenient for users.
  • It ensures accurate printing by controlling the printing process based on contract status, color mode, and consumable part type.
  • The technology provides flexibility in printing options and settings based on the contract and color mode requirements.


Original Abstract Submitted

A printing apparatus to which a consumable part filled with a printing material can be detachably attached, so as to perform printing according to a color mode setting by use of the printing material filled in the consumable part whose type differs according to a contract, includes: a setting unit configured to set a contract status, based on information related to the contract; a first obtainment unit configured to obtain a set color mode; a second obtainment unit configured to obtain the type of mounted consumable part which corresponds to the contract status; and a print control unit configured to control printing by allowing or restricting the printing, based on the contract status that is set by the setting unit, the color mode that is obtained by the first obtainment unit, and the type of consumable part that is obtained by the second obtainment unit.
