Abstract:
When a problem occurs in a subset of devices, another device appropriately executes a process instead of the problem device. A printer has a decision unit that determines whether or not a request for specific information was received at a specific time from a specific printer; an information collection device that, when the request is not received at the specific time, collects the specific information of each printer from other printers capable of communicating; and an information transmission device that transmits the specific information that was collected and the specific information about the printer of which it is part to an external server.

Claim (Index 7):
An information collection and transmission method executed by a printing device, and comprising:\n a decision step of determining whether or not a request for specific information was received at a specific time from a specific printing device; an information collection step of, when the decision step determines the request was not received at the specific time, collecting the specific information of each printing device from other printing devices able to communicate; and an information transmission step of transmitting the specific information that was collected to an external server.
