To provide a printer which can increase the convenience for a user since the printer does not need to be connected to and be used integrally with a measurement apparatus as a dedicated machine.SOLUTION: A control circuit 11 of a printer 10 executes: template acquisition processing of acquiring a template P in which a state amount is related to at least one object; search processing of searching for at least one external measurement apparatus 20, to which the state amount corresponding to the object of the acquired template P is given; measured value acquisition processing of acquiring the measured value of the corresponding state amount from the external measurement apparatus 20 detected by the search; data generation processing of generating print data in which the measured value of the acquired state amount is allocated to the object of the template P; and printing processing of controlling a platen roller 18 and a print head 17 and generating a print label L in which printing for the generated print data is formed in a print target tape T.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】互いに専用機となる計測機器と印刷装置とを接続して一体的に用いる必要がなく、ユーザにとっての利便性を向上することができる印刷装置を提供する。【解決手段】印刷装置１０の制御回路１１は、少なくとも１つのオブジェクトに状態量が関連づけられたテンプレートＰを取得するテンプレート取得処理；取得したテンプレートＰのオブジェクトに対応する状態量を与える、少なくとも１つの外部計測機器２０を検索する検索処理；検索により検知した外部計測機器２０から、対応する状態量の計測値を取得する計測値取得処理；取得した状態量の計測値をテンプレートＰのオブジェクトに割り付けた、印刷データを生成するデータ生成処理；プラテンローラ１８及び印字ヘッド１７を制御し、生成した印刷データに対応した印字を被印字テープＴに形成した印字ラベルＬを生成する印刷処理；を実行する。【選択図】図１
