A label image generation device generates label images corresponding to labels for creating composite labels. In each composite label, a label created from a first printing medium and a label created from a second printing medium are overlaid. A control device generates first and second label images to be formed on the first printing medium, and a third label image to be formed on the second printing medium. The control device displays a first composite image and a second composite image. In the first composite image, the first and third label images are overlaid. In the second composite image, the second and third label images are overlaid. The control device controls a printing mechanism to perform printing for creating the first number of first labels, the second number of second labels, and the third number of third labels. The third number depends on both the first and second numbers.

In an information processing device, a processor is configured to perform: acquiring; displaying; receiving; and identifying. The acquiring acquires from a memory a single set of template data for a composite label. The single set of template data includes a plurality of sets of image data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of print labels and representing respective ones of a plurality of label images. The single composite label is to be created using the plurality of print labels. The displaying displays on a display a composite label image in which the plurality of label images is superimposed on each other. The receiving receives a designating operation on the composite label image via an operating interface. The designating operation targeting a target label image. The identifying identifies target image data corresponding to the target label image from among the plurality of sets of image data.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores a set of program instructions installed on and executed by a computer provided in a terminal device. The set of program instructions includes receiving a print start operation to start printing images represented by first and second sets of print data. The first set of print data represents a first print image correlated with a first print medium type. The second set of print data represents a second print image correlated with a second print medium type. The set of program instructions include transmitting the first set of print data, and transmitting the second set of print data to the printer. The second print image is to be printed after the first print image is printed. The transmitting the second set of print data is performed before the printer complete printing the first print image.

The disclosure discloses a printer includes a controller. The controller performs a first feed control process, a temperature-difference calculation process, and a first printing speed determination process. In the first feed control process, in a state where an energizing device does not perform energization to the heating element, the driving device is controlled to perform non-energization feeding while causing a thermal head to contact a print-receiving medium. In the temperature-difference calculation process, during execution of the non-energization feeding, a first deviation between two of the head temperatures which are respectively detected by the first temperature detecting device at different timings is calculated. In the first printing speed determination process, the printing speed is determined on the basis of the first deviation.

Printer

The disclosure discloses a printer including a feeder, a printing, a communication device, and a controller. The controller is configured to execute a temperature reception process and a printing control process. In the temperature reception process, first temperature data is received. The first temperature data is broadcast-transmitted from at least one other printer and corresponds to a first temperature inside the other printer. In the printing control process, a feeder and a printing head are controlled on the basis of the first temperature data to form a print on a printing medium and thereby generate a printed matter.
