Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a recording device that can connect to a control device, comprising steps of: generating and writing to a storage unit drive data that drives a recording head based on data received from the control device; reading the drive data from the storage unit, driving the recording head, and recording on a recording medium; sending to the control device information denoting a first position, which is the position where the drive data is written in the storage unit or the position where reading and recording the drive data starts, or information denoting a second position, which is the position where writing the drive data in the storage unit ends or the position where reading and recording the drive data ends; and setting the first position to a default value when the drive data is fully recorded on the recording medium such that sending to the control device the information denoting the first position includes sending the default value when the drive data is fully recorded on the recording medium; wherein the first position is a value that is not the default value when the drive data is not fully recorded on the recording medium such that sending to the control device the information denoting the first position does not include sending the default value when the drive data is not fully recorded on the recording medium.
