A print control device includes a controller. The controller edits an image constituted by one or more objects including one or more upper objects, acquires an image area length, an image area width, a lower tape length, and a lower tape width, designates one upper object from among the one or more upper objects, and acquires an object area length, an object area width, and an upper tape width. In a case where a precondition is met for the designated upper object, the controller sets an orientation to a parallel orientation when a first condition or a third condition is met, and sets the orientation to an orthogonal orientation when a second condition or a fourth condition is met. The controller issues an error notification when the precondition is met but all of the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, and the fourth condition are not met.

The disclosure discloses a printer including a memory storing computer-executable instructions. When the instruction is executed by a processor, a printer perform a read process and a printed matter production process. In the read process, process setting information stored in a cartridge memory of a cartridge of the specific type is read, triggered by attachment of the cartridge of the specific type to a cartridge holder. In the printed matter production process, at least a feeder and a printing head is controlled on the basis of a setting state included in the process setting information read in the read process.

The disclosure discloses a printer includes an error occurrence detecting portion, an interruption control portion, a switching portion, an error storage portion, and a display control portion. The error occurrence detecting portion detects occurrence of an error event. The interruption control portion interrupts a printing process. The switching portion performs switching to a supply shutoff state or a low power consumption state. The error storage portion stores contents of the error event corresponding to the interruption when the switching portion performs the switching. The display control portion controls the display device to display an error display screen representative of the contents of the error event stored in the error storage portion in the case that a return to a normal power supply state.

A printer includes a controller configured to execute a printed matter producing process including printing page images on a medium in a first position on a conveyance path while conveying the medium along the conveyance path, storing a cut target position for each page image and cutting the medium in a second position downstream of the first position in a conveyance direction when the cut target position reaches the second position, an interrupting process including interrupting the printed matter producing process and storing an uncut position as a cut target position located between the first and second positions when the printed matter producing process is interrupted, when an error occurs during the printed matter producing process, and a resuming process including resuming the printed matter producing process when the error is settled during the interruption of the printed matter producing process, and cutting the medium based on the uncut position.
