The purpose of the present invention is to provide technology for reducing time and effort of a user for reprinting when an error occurs in a printer in an information processing device in which an OS standard general-purpose printing program is incorporated. When a print instruction that is output from an editing application 43 and instructs a general-purpose printing program 41 to cause a printer 2 to print an image is received, an auxiliary program 42 stores print data indicating the image to be printed, and print settings, in a memory, and causes the printer 2 to print using the print data. The general-purpose printing program 41 can output an error event in response to receiving an error notification from the printer 2 that has received the print data. When an error event is output from the general-purpose printing program 41 and a prescribed condition is satisfied, the auxiliary program 42 accepts re-execution of the printing, and upon accepting the re-execution of the printing, causes the printer 2 to print on the basis of the stored print data and print settings.
This invention makes it easier to grasp how much a final permitted print volume is when the permitted print volume has increased as a result of a user paying for same, after a permitted print volume has become negative. A printer 200 is configured so as to be able to execute printing in which a permitted number of sheets printed is an upper limit. The permitted number of sheets printed of the printer 200 increases in accordance with a predetermined number of paid-for sheets that is guaranteed by a purchased printing right purchased through a user's financial burden, and decreases in accordance with a printing volume of printing that has been executed. A mobile terminal 300 executes: ordinary payment processing to increase the permitted number of sheets printed; a step S5 for acquiring the permitted number of sheets printed as well as a not-yet-purchased number of sheets printed for which printing has been executed while the permitted number of sheets printed was insufficient; processing to display an allocation payment button 346 where the not-yet-purchased number of sheets printed is shown; and allottable payment processing and mandatory allocation payment processing for eliminating the not-yet-purchased number of sheets printed in response to the allocation payment button 346 having been selected and an additional financial burden having been borne the user.

In the present invention, when peel-off backing is to be wound up, an outer surface (82A) of an advance/retreat member (82) is disposed in an outstretched position that radially is the same as that of an outer circumferential surface (80B) of a reel (80). The length of the inner circumference of a peel-off backing roll (175) onto which the peel-off backing is wrapped is a first circumferential length that is approximately the same as the circumferential length of the outer circumferential surface (80B) of the reel (80). When the peel-off backing roll (175) onto which winding-up has been finished is to be detached, the outer surface (82A) of the advance/retreat member (82) is disposed in a retracted position that is to the radial interior from the outer circumferential surface (80B) of the reel (80). The circumferential length of the reel (80), since the cross-sectional outline thereof in an opening (80C) passes through the opening (80C) interior, is a second circumferential length that is shorter than the first circumferential length. Consequently, a gap is produced between the inner surface of the peel-off backing roll (175) and the outer surface (82A) of the advance/retreat member (82), enabling users to detach the peel-off backing roll (175) along the axial center.
