Patent ID: 8705126

Claim:
A printing device, comprising: a receiving part that receives print job data; an analysis part that generates image information and print information including print conditions for the image information based on the print job data; a memory part that stores the image information and the print information; an image forming part that executes a print process of the image information using a first consumable and a second consumable, and that includes a remaining amount detecting part that detects a remaining amount of the first consumable; and a print control unit that controls the print process by the image forming part based on the print information, the print control unit performing one of a first process and a second process when the remaining amount of the first consumable detected by the remaining amount detecting part is lower than a predetermined amount, wherein when the remaining amount of the first consumable is detected to be lower than the predetermined amount, the print control unit temporarily suspends the print process by the image forming part for first print job data that uses the first consumable and causes the suspended print process for the first print job data to wait until second print job data is received, and when the print information corresponding to the second print job data is received, the print control unit performs one of the first process and the second process on the suspended print process for the first print job data that uses the first consumable.
