Abstract

The present invention provides a printing system and a printer in which setting of an information terminal is relatively easy when POS application software operated by a server is used from the information terminal. The POS system includes a server on which POS application software operates, an information terminal, and a printer communicably connected to the server via the Internet. The printer includes: a local communication unit that establishes communication with the information terminal; a communication relay unit that connects the server so that it can communicate with the information terminal; setting information; and an application setting unit that sets the POS application software based on the setting information so that the POS application software can be used from the information terminal.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of Japanese Patent No. 2012-066923 filed on March 23, 2012, and Japanese Patent No. 2012-079643 filed on March 30, 2012, and the contents thereof are hereby cited . technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a printing system including a server, an information terminal, and a printer communicably connected via a network, and a printer of the printing system. Background technique [0003] In the printing system described above, a printer is connected to an information terminal communicably connected to the Internet, and communication between the printer and a server is performed via the information terminal (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0004] In addition, in a system in which a server is connected to an information terminal via the Internet, and the application software operated by the server is used from the information terminal, if the Internet line status becomes unstable, the operation of the appli...
