Label printer, control method for a label printer, and non-transitory storage medium

A label printer configured to connect to a control device, the label printer comprising:na real-time clock configured to keep time;an error detector configured to detect a real-time clock error;a data writer configured to write predetermined information by wireless communication to an IC tag embedded in a label on continuous paper; anda printing mechanism configured to print on the label; anda controller configured toncontrol the data writer,control the printing mechanism,check the error detector when identification information is received from the control device,acquire time information from the real-time clock,cause the data writer to write the time information and identification information to the IC tag and the printing mechanism to print a symbol code on the label if the error detector did not detect a real-time clock error, andcause the data writer to prohibit the writing of the time information and identification information to the IC tag if the error detector detected a real-time clock error.

A control method for a label printer configured to connect to a control device and including a real-time clock configured to keep time, an error detector configured to detect a real-time clock error, a data writer configured to write predetermined information by wireless communication to an IC tag embedded in a label on continuous paper, and a printing mechanism configured to print on the label, the control method comprising:nchecking the error detector when identification information is received from the control device;acquiring time information from the real-time clock,writing the time information and identification information to the IC tag using the data writer and printing a symbol code on the label using the printing mechanism if the error detector did not detect a real-time clock error; andprohibiting the writing of the time information and identification information to the IC tag if the error detector detected a real-time clock error.

A non-transitory storage medium configured to store a program for execution by a controller configured to control parts of a label printer configured to connect to a control device and that includes a real-time clock configured to keep time, an error detector configured to detect a real-time clock error, a data writer configured to write predetermined information by wireless communication to an IC tag embedded in a label on continuous paper, and a printing mechanism configured to print on the label, the program causing the controller to:ncheck the error detector when identification information is received from the control device;acquire time information from the real-time clock;cause the data writer to write the time information and identification information to the IC tag and the printing mechanism to print a symbol code on the label if the error detector did not detect a real-time clock error; andcause the data writer to prohibit the writing of the time information and identification information to the IC tag if the error detector detected a real-time clock error.
