A model-specific database 27 provided on a print control member 11 of a
printer stores setting commands for a plurality of print stations, and
menu information to be displayed on an operation panel. A maintenance
processing member 25 obtains from the model-specific database 27, a menu
corresponding to the model ID 251 of the print station, and displays the
menu on the operation panel exposed at the printer housing. A maintenance
operator carries out adjustment of the print station by operating the
operation panel. Since processes and the like depending on the model of
the print station are concentrated in the maintenance processing member
25 and the model-specific database 27, other structures of the print
control member 11 can be configured so as not to depend on the model of
the print station.
