  • a receiver that receives data from a first device over a network;

    a controller that alternates a state of the printer between a first state in which the printer is able to respond to data received by the receiver and a second state in which the printer is not able to respond to the data, and that outputs a substitute response request signal to a second device over the network so that the second device may respond to the data from the first device when the controller switches the state from the first state to the second state.
