There are provided a character input apparatus and a tape printing apparatus incorporating the character input apparatus as well as a character input method, which are capable of easily preparing a desired document by calling a design form having a sample text input therein in advance and then editing contents of the sample text. A plurality of design forms each having a sample text input therein in advance are stored, and one design form is selected from the plurality of stored design forms. The sample text of the selected one design form is edited. The sample text of the selected one design form or the edited sample text is displayed on a screen. At the same time, the sample text is also displayed with a cursor added to a character to be edited. In an initial state before editing, the sample text is displayed with the cursor added to a last character thereof.

Character input apparatus and tape printing apparatus incorporating the same as well as character input method

An apparatus, method and program produce small print including character string information in a plurality of languages together with a logo. A language converting function converts an input character string into another language. A multi-language printing function converts the input character string into a specified number and types of languages. A layout function allows specifying one piece of information of the logo, specifying one record, specifying one type of character string information and printing the specified layout as the small print inclusive of the logo and character string.

Apparatus, method and program for producing small prints

There is provided a tape printing apparatus which is capable of positively discharging a cut-off tape strip of a tape material out of the apparatus by forcibly discharging the same, thereby preventing jamming and double cutting of the tape material. A full-cutting device for cutting a printed strip off the tape material is arranged at a location downstream of a printing section in a tape-feeding direction. A half-cutting device carries out half-cutting of the tape material. A tape discharge device forcibly discharges the cut-off tape strip out of the apparatus via a tape exit.
