Claim 0:
1. A printing device comprising:
a communication interface configured to communicate with an external device;
a user interface for inputting a print instruction; and
a controller configured to:
receive print setting information related to printing, the print setting information being transmitted from the external device;
determine whether or not the printing is set to accumulation printing, based on the received print setting information, the accumulation printing being a printing method in which the controller is configured to store print job data received from the external device in the printing device and to print the print job data stored in the printing device in response to receipt of the print instruction by the user interface;
perform the printing, in a case where it is determined that the printing is not set to the accumulation printing, the printing being a processing of printing on a sheet based on the print job data; and
perform a print preparation processing of performing a predetermined preparation operation before printing, in a case where it is determined that the printing is not set to the accumulation printing,

wherein the controller is configured to accumulate the print job data without performing the print preparation processing, in a case where it is determined that the printing is set to the accumulation printing.
