PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer that can efficiently reduce a waiting time for printing.SOLUTION: The printer includes: a memory 140 to store a user code for identifying a user and first determination information for determining whether a user is identified by the user code in association with each other; a communicator 130 to receive a job containing the user code and print data; a printer engine 160 to print the received print data on a recording medium in a first print mode having a first printing speed or a second print mode having a second printing speed higher than the first printing speed; a determiner 121 to determine whether the user is identified by second determination information for identifying a user on the basis of the first determination information associated with the user code contained in the received job and the second determination information; and a switcher 123 to switch from the first print mode to the second print mode if it is determined that the user identified by the second determination information is the user identified by the user code. 【課題】印刷の待ち時間を効率的に減らす印刷装置を提供する。【解決手段】ユーザを特定するユーザコードとユーザコードによって特定されるユーザか否かを判定する第１の判定情報とを対応付けて記憶する記憶部１４０と、ユーザコードと印刷データとを含むジョブを受信する通信部１３０と、受信した印刷データを第１の印刷速度を有する第１の印刷モード又は第１の印刷速度よりも高速な第２の印刷速度を有する第２の印刷モードで記録媒体に印刷を行うプリンタエンジン１６０と、受信ジョブに含まれるユーザコードに対応付けられている第１の判定情報とユーザを特定する第２の判定情報とに基づいて第２の判定情報によって特定されるユーザか否かを判定する判定部１２１と、第２の判定情報によって特定されるユーザがユーザコードによって特定されるユーザであると判定した場合、第１の印刷モードから第２の印刷モードに切り替える切替部１２３と、を備えた。【選択図】図２
