1. A pretreatment control apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions for execution by the processor to perform a process including:
performing read processing that reads identification information identifying a treatment medium by a reader; and
performing, after the read processing, first transmission processing and second transmission processing in either order, wherein
the first transmission processing transmits a pretreatment instruction based on the identification information read in the read processing to a pretreatment portion which performs a pretreatment with respect to the treatment medium;
the second transmission processing transmits, in response to reading of the identification information prior to the pretreatment, a transmission instruction for identified print data based on the identification information read in the read processing prior to the pretreatment, to a storage which stores print data; and
the pretreatment control apparatus is a pretreatment device which includes the pretreatment portion, or a terminal device which is communicatively connected to a printing apparatus and the pretreatment device, the printing apparatus performing printing with respect to the treatment medium.
