A printing apparatus that performs printing on a nail to which a base is applied determines an order of applying a base to the nails of a plurality of fingers by a practitioner based on practitioner information about the practitioner who applies the base to the nail, sets, based on the base application order for the nails, the print order for the nails of the plurality of fingers, and performs, based on this print order, printing on the nails of the plurality of fingers, to which the base was applied.

Nail printing apparatus and control method

A printing device includes a print head that prints on a print medium image data of a print target and a decorative image and a processor that controls the print head to print image data of the decorative image on the print medium while the printing device that is held by a user moves on the print medium in a first movement, wherein the processor causes the print head to print the image data of the print target in a range that is indicated by the printed decorative image while the held printing device moves on the print medium in a second movement after the image data of the decorative image is printed.

Printing device, printing method, and non-transitory recording medium

A printer includes: a processor; a print head configured to perform printing in accordance with input print data; and a scanner configured to acquire an image of a material to be printed. The processor is configured to detect at least one line extending in a first direction on the material to be printed from the image acquired by the scanner when moving of the printer in a moving direction in which the scanner is on the front side of the print head, and set a print area along the first direction based on the line on the material to be printed, and the print head prints in the print area.

A printer includes: a processor; a head configured to perform printing; a sensor configured to detect an amount of movement of the printer; and a scanner configured to acquire an image including a frame described on a material to be printed beforehand, the scanner being disposed forward of the head in a moving direction of the printer. The processor executes during scanning for frame detection over the material to be printed, frame detection processing to detect the frame based on the amount of movement and the image without performing the printing, and during scanning for printing over the material to be printed, print processing to perform the printing with the head based on the frame detected.

A data processing device includes an input unit including an input detection region, a detection unit, a partition region setting unit, a valid region setting unit, a longitudinal direction determination unit and a magnification determination unit. The detection unit detects input to the input detection region. The partition region setting unit partitions the input detection region into partition regions. The valid region setting unit sets, among said partitioned partition regions, a partition region in which input is detected as a valid region. The longitudinal direction determination unit determines a longitudinal direction of the valid region. The magnification determination unit determines a magnification for enlarging or reducing a size of a drawing corresponding to the input in the valid region, so that a width along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the valid region conforms to a width along a transverse direction of a printing medium.

A printing apparatus having an adhesive applying function is provided with a transporting mechanism for transporting an elongated print member, a transferring mechanism for transporting a transferring member having adhesive, contained in a cartridge installed on the apparatus, and for selectively bringing the transferring member into contact with the print member transported by the transporting mechanism, thereby transferring the adhesive of the transferring member onto the surface of the print member which no data is to be printed on, a controlling unit for controlling whether the transferring mechanism transfers the adhesive of the transferring member onto the surface of the print member which no data is to be printed on, and a printing mechanism provided on the downstream side of the transferring mechanism, for processing print data including rotation of the data in unit of 90 degrees, and for printing the data on the surface of the print member.

When the length of a print area in a print tape is designated and an instruction to print a symbol image of a two-dimensional code and character information is given, a printing apparatus sets the print size of the symbol image of the two-dimensional code to a predetermined print size defined as the initial setting, but changes the print attributes of the character information from the initial values to adjust the length of the character string, so that the character information can be printed together with the symbol image of the two-dimensional code within the print area in the print tape, that has the designated length. The printing apparatus prints the character information whose print size is adjusted and the symbol image of the two-dimensional code maintained at the predetermined print size, in a serial arrangement, in a range of the print tape having the designated length.

A printer having a first printing mode in which information is printed in a normal image on a general printing tape and a second printing mode in which information is printed in a mirror image on a transfer tape. When the printer prints a two-dimensional code symbol imagein the second printing mode on the transfer tape, the printer also prints a two-dimensional code symbol imagein the normal image in an area of the transfer tape next to its area in which the symbol image is printed in the mirror image. At this time, an additional confirmative indicationis printed close to the symbol imageprinted in the normal image to indicate that this symbol image should be used only for confirming the content of the symbol image printed in the mirror image.

A label sheet is constituted by a second label and predetermined plural numbers of first labels which are formed consecutively with the second label. The first label to be attached to an object indicates predetermined information on the object, and the second label for managing the first label indicates second information which is not appropriate as the information to be indicated on the first label and is on the purpose and handling of the first label.
