A printer includes a printer body and a lid. The printer body includes a recording paper holder configured to accommodate a roll of recording paper and a projection provided on a bottom surface of the recording paper holder that contacts the recording paper. The lid is attached to the printer body to be opened and closed relative to the printer body.

An object of the present disclosure is to perform printing such that partition work of an operator is reduced. One embodiment of the present embodiment provides a printing apparatus that prints images on a roll paper based on one or a plurality of jobs, the printing apparatus including: an image forming unit that forms one or a plurality of image sets, each formed of a partition page image and a content image, on the roll paper based on a job in which partition information for inserting a partition page is set; and a control unit that controls image formation by the image forming unit, in which the control unit controls the image formation by the image forming unit based on a remaining amount of the roll paper such that there is no interruption in the middle of the image set.

A printing apparatus supporting USB type-C includes: a USB type-C interface configured to support a connection with an external device; a printing unit configured to perform printing; and a controller configured to control the supply of power to the external device. The controller checks a reception power received from an external power source, predicts the estimated power consumption of at least one of the printing apparatus and the external device, determines a supply power to be transmitted to the external device based on the reception power and the estimated power consumption, and transmits the supply power to the external device via the USB type-C interface.

A tape cassette includes: a cassette casing; and a tape roll that is a roll of a tape extending in a lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction. The tape includes: a subject surface exposed in a thickness direction; and a first image provided on the subject surface and indicating first information. The tape roll has: a first end portion located at an inner portion of the tape roll in a radial direction of the tape roll; and a second end portion located at an outer portion of the tape roll in the radial direction. The first information relates to an amount of a portion of the tape which is located on a first-end-portion-side of a reference position in the lengthwise direction. The reference position is located on the first-end-portion-side of the first image in the lengthwise direction on the tape at a particular distance from the first image.

The controller checks a reception power received from an external power source, predicts the estimated power consumption of at least one of the printing apparatus and the external device, determines a supply power to be transmitted to the external device based on the reception power and the estimated power consumption, and transmits the supply power to the external device via the USB type-C interface.

The disclosure discloses a printer including a CPU that executes a detection process, a first determination process, and a first mode switching process. In the detection process, a type of a storage body is detected. In the first determination process, it is determined on the basis of a detection result whether the type of the storage body attached to the attaching part is a first type in an ordering state associated with insufficiency in quantity or a second type other than the first type. In the first mode switching process a control mode is switched from a normal mode prepared in advance correspondingly to the second type to a medium-saving mode prepared in advance correspondingly to the first type for reducing a consumption amount of the print-receiving medium than the normal mode, in the case that the type is determined as the first type.

An information processing apparatus includes a sensing unit that senses occurrence of a predetermined fault through one of detection of the occurrence of the fault and prediction of the occurrence of the fault, and a notifying unit that, when the fault is sensed to have occurred by the sensing unit, identifies a user to be notified that the fault is sensed to have occurred from among multiple users registered in advance, and notifies an information processing terminal of the identified user that the fault has occurred.
