An information processing device that transmits print data to a printing apparatus includes a storage unit that stores combination information configured to identify a combination of a color of a print medium and a color of a color material and an adaptive density range that is a range of print densities suitable for reading a code image, a print combination information acquisition unit that acquires print combination information configured to identify a combination of a color of the print medium and a color of the color material, a density setting value acquisition unit that acquires a density setting value, a density determination unit that determines, whether the density setting value is included in the adaptive density range stored in association with the combination information same as the print combination information, and a density change unit that changes a print density of the print data.

Information processing device, printing apparatus, and method of controlling information processing device

A display control apparatus exaggeratedly displays a change in a printing image based on an alteration in a setting value of an editing item, on a display, when editing results of printing data on an editing screen are displayed on the display as the printing image and the setting value of the editing item of the printing data is altered.

Display control apparatus for displaying exaggeratedly, printing apparatus for displaying exaggeratedly, control method of display control apparatus, and program therefor

An information processing device includes a detection unit configured to detect a movement of the information processing device, and a display unit configured to display a print image in which a layout has been changed in accordance with a detected movement of the information processing device.

Information processing device for changing layout, position, or character style of character strings based on orientation

An information processing apparatus includes a file name reading unit that reads a file name including form information indicating a printing form of an image to be printed, a preview image generating unit that specifies the printing form from the read file name, and generates a simple preview image of the image based on the printing form, and a selection display unit that displays the simple preview image as a selection for selecting the image which is desired.

Information processing apparatus, tape printing apparatus, and display control method of information processing apparatus

A display control apparatus, when a display displays side by side a plurality of serial number elements with a predetermined regularity in order of serial number printing in which the plurality of serial number elements are printed in turn, includes a controller configured to replace at least two consecutive serial number elements from among the plurality of serial number elements excepting first and last serial number elements with omission information, which is a symbol or a character indicating omission of the at least two consecutive serial number elements, and to display the omission information on the display.

Apparatus, method and non-transitory computer readable medium for displaying omission information to print serial number

Provided is a label data generating method of generating label data to create a label by printing a printing image on a tape-shaped member, the method comprising: setting sequential printing for creating the labels by printing a plurality of types of printing images based on each item of individual information which is sequentially read from an information list including the plurality of items of individual information; setting the number of printed copies; and generating the label data so that a plurality of copies of the labels are created, wherein in the generating of the label data, the label data is generated so that the label data creating apparatus performs non-sequential printing that prints the plurality of types of printing images respectively printed for a plurality of copies by the sequential printing in a sequence in which the same printing images are collected for a plurality of copies.

Method of generating label data for printing images that are larger than a tape width of a tape-shaped member, recording medium, label data generating apparatus, and label creating system

A portable terminal for transmitting printing data to a printing apparatus, the portable terminal including: a printing-data generating unit for generating the printing data; a detecting unit for detecting movement of a main body of the portable terminal; and a printing-data transmitting unit for transmitting the printing data to the printing apparatus when movement is detected by the detecting unit in a printing instruction waiting state after the printing data generation.

Portable terminal, printing system, control method for portable terminal, and computer program product for executing printing based on movement of the portable terminal

A tape printing system includes a control apparatus and a tape printer, wherein the control apparatus includes an image data generating section generating character strings and/or image data, and an image data transmitting section transmitting the generated character strings and/or image data to the tape printer, and the tape printer includes a processing pattern storing section storing a processing pattern for each tape type, the processing pattern of processing the character strings and/or image data to printing image data, a tape type determining section determining the tape type of a printing tape, an image data receiving section receiving the character strings and/or image data from the data transmitting section, a printing image data generating section generating printing image data by processing the received character strings and/or image data based on the processing pattern, and a tape printing section printing the generated printing image data on the printing tape.

Tape printing system and tape printing method based on printing tape type

A tape printer which prints an inputted character string on a tape includes: an input unit receiving input of the character string; a detecting unit detecting a keyword which contains a first character string expressing a number from the character string received by the input unit; and a printing unit performing sequential number printing which repeats printing while sequentially changing the first character string when the detecting unit detects the keyword.

Tape printer and tape printer control method

Outline font data showing the original outside shape having a single closed curve made up of a parenthesized outside shape portion of the parenthesized image and a connecting line portion to connect both open ends is stored. The height and line width are determined. Based on the above data, a first-size solidly shaded image is formed having the determined height and is entirely filled inside the original outside shape thereof with effective pixels of logic '1.' A second-size solidly shaded image is formed of a second size which is smaller by the line width than the first-size solidly shaded image, along the parenthesized outside shape portion. Non-equivalence operation is performed with corresponding pixels by displacing the first-size solidly shaded image and the second-size solidly shaded image by the line width along the parenthesized outside shape portion.
