Abstract:
1. A printing device comprising: a receiving section which receives data from a host machine; a nonvolatile storage medium where control constants are stored in relation to print setting information in the form of at least one table; a parameter deriving section which derives, from the table in the nonvolatile storage, the control constants in association with a combination of a plurality of print setting information included in the received data, the print setting information being set on the host machine; and a printing section which performs printing based on the print setting information, the control contents and print data, wherein, when the combination of the plurality of print setting information included in the data received by the receiving section includes paper type and paper size, the parameter driving section derives the control constants from the table, wherein the host machine determines whether or not the printing device can derive the control constants from said printing device on the basis of predetermined information acquired from said printing device, and wherein the host machine generates the data, which includes the print setting information but not said control constants, when said printing device can derive said control constants from said printing device, wherein the control constants include a transporting amount of a paper, an ink quantity of an ink droplet, and a size of an ink droplet.
