A portable printer contains a print controller that acquires first ID of a
first character printed in advance on an instant film from a wireless tag
embedded in the instant film; acquires second ID of a second character
contained in image data to be printed on the instant film from a header
of the image data. The print controller makes a judgment based on a print
permission table and the IDs of the first and second characters as to
whether an image based on the image data is permitted to be printed
together on the instant film. The print controller then performs an
output based on a result of the judgment. The print permission table is
stored in a storage portion and indicates whether the first character and
the second character are allowed to be printed on a common instant film.
