To enable an easy distinction between a stable printed quality paper and an unstable printed quality paper.

A reception section sends a printing instruction to an administration section when a printing instruction is received from a host device (S101). The administration section upon receiving a printing instruction makes to shift other printing apparatuses to a print-ready state (S102) and to instruct a control section of other printing apparatuses to test print (S103). The instruction for test print is received by a transceiver of the control section and then is sent to the administration section. Then, the administration section at a predetermined timing controls to start the conveyance of a continuous paper of a paper feed device (S104). The administration section then controls to start a test print in the printing device (S105). Moreover, the administration section reads out the data of damaged paper mark memorized by an memory unit and controls to print the damaged paper mark printing (S106).
