摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to prospect the own future operating situation using the information acquired from an existing printer device.;SOLUTION: The printer device 1 is connected to more than one sets of a second printer device 2 through a communication cable 4 which records an operating result which is a history information relating to the own operating situation. Other device information acquisition section 17 acquires the device information indicating the function of the second printer device 2, then the printer device 1 compares the acquired device information with the own device information. Then, other device selecting section 18 selects the second printer device 2 whose function and processability are equal/similar among the second printer devices 2. An operating-result data acquisition section 19 acquires the operating-result data from the selected second printer device 2. Based on the operating-result data, a self-device operating situation prospect section 20 prospects the own operating situation.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
