Claim:
A printer-equipped disk recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprising: a disk drive that sets a disk-shaped recording medium and that records information signals into and/or reproduces information signals from an information recording portion of the disk-shaped recording medium by rotating the disk-shaped recording medium; a printer that performs printing by discharging ink droplets onto a label surface of the disk-shaped recording medium, which is on a side opposite to the information recording portion; a single light-emitting indicator unit that is able to luminously indicate a plurality of colors; an ink tank that contains color inks of which a number of inks corresponds to a number of colors the light-emitting indicator unit is able to indicate; an ink level detection unit that detects levels of a plurality of color inks contained in the ink tank for the respective ink colors and that outputs respective detected ink signals; a printing operation detection unit that detects a print operation of the printer and that outputs a detected print signal; a drive operation detection unit that detects a drive operation of the disk drive and that outputs a detected drive signal; and a first light emission control unit that controls a luminous color and a luminous state of the light-emitting indicator unit in accordance with the print operation of the printer, the drive operation of the disk drive and the levels of the color inks on the basis of the detected ink signals from the ink level detection unit, the detected print signal from the printing operation detection unit and the detected drive signal from the drive operation detection unit.
