Abstract
A multifunction device 100 has a roll paper print unit 120; a first interface 110 that receives text data from a POS terminal 20; a second interface 115 connected to a printer 200; a data interpreter 155 that determines if a predetermined string is contained in the received text data; and a control unit 150 that, based on the result from the data interpreter 155, switches to a first operating mode for executing processes with the roll paper print unit 120, or a second operating mode that passes the received text data through the second interface 115 to the printer 200.
