The disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a content processing program. A computer executes steps including a first determination step, a first update step, a charging step, and a second update step. In the first determination step, it is determined whether or not an output voltage is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. In the first update step, an update process of the content of which the update instruction is received is executed in the case that the output voltage is determined as being equal to or greater than the threshold value. In the charging step, a battery is charged until the output voltage becomes equal to or greater than the threshold value in the case that the output voltage is determined as being less than the threshold value.

A printing apparatus including a conveyance unit for conveying a print medium fed from a feeding apparatus, a detection unit for detecting the fed print medium, a printhead, provided on a downstream of the detection unit with respect to a conveyance direction of the print medium, for printing an image by discharging ink to the conveyed print medium, and a heating unit, provided on a downstream of the printhead with respect to the conveyance direction, for heating the print medium on which the image is printed, exclusively controls to stop driving of the heating unit if it is determined, based on a timing of detecting the print medium, that the print medium is at a print position, and to drive the heating unit if it is determined that the print medium is not at the print position.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique capable of suppressing power consumption when printing an image with high density in a thermal printer. the recording paper contains a reversible thermochromic recording material which is in a color-developed state in an initial state, starts color reduction at T.sub.1 or higher after the start of rising temperature, and turns into an achromatized state at T.sub.2 or higher which is higher than T.sub.1. A thermal printer includes the input unit that receives image data, the image processing unit that converts the density for each pixel of the image data into heating data based on the density and temperature characteristics of the reversible thermochromic recording material, and the print processing unit that makes the thermal head heat the recording paper for each pixel based on the heating data to form an image on the recording paper.
