Abstract
Abstract In a printer-processor, if an error occurs during execution of a print process, a corresponding error message is displayed in a display unit, and the error message and the time at which the error occurs are stored sequentially in a memory. In response to an instruction, the errors that have occurred are displayed one after another in the order stored, or in the reverse order to review the record of past errors.
