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

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 control device which designates sequential number printing to print while updating character information, comprising: a sequential number setting unit which carries out sequential number setting to carry out the sequential number printing, on the character information; a current value designating unit which collectively designates a current value to all the character information with sequential number setting, in one document; and a print instruction unit which gives an instruction to start the sequential number printing at the current value that is designated.

Control device, print system, print device, print control method and program

A label design producing apparatus of the present invention comprises a first memory unit in which a plurality of designs are stored, a second memory unit in which label combination information expressing each design by combination of a plurality of rectangular labels is stored, a selecting unit for selecting a design to be employed from designs stored in the first memory unit, a reading-out unit for reading out the label combination information corresponding to the design selected by the selecting unit from the second memory unit, and an output unit for outputting labels constituting the design according to the label combination information read out by the reading-out unit.

Label design producing apparatus

A print-image forming apparatus which forms a print image for printing on a print sheet a two-dimensional code whose size is defined based on an error correction rate, the apparatus including: a storage device which stores a plurality of levels of error correction rates; a setting device which sets an arbitrary error correction rate from among the plurality of error correction rates; an image forming device which forms the print image based on the error correction rate thus set; a determining device which determines whether or not the formed print image lies off a code printing area of the print sheet where the two-dimensional code is printed; and a setting changing device which changes the setting of the error correction rate such that the print image can lie in the code printing area when it is determined that the print image lies off the code printing area.

Print-image forming apparatus, print-image forming method, and program

Basic image data serving as a source of print image data is stored. The loading of a special tape is detected when the print image based on the print image data is printed on the special tape having a particular non-printing area. The print image data is generated and then printed with non-printing area image data out of the basic image data masked.

Tape printing apparatus, data processing method for tape printing apparatus, printing system, data processing method for printing system, computer program and storage medium

A printing system includes a supply device and a tape printing device. The supply device includes a widthwise-size setting unit that sets the size of a print table image in the tape-width direction based on the tape width notified by the printing device, a table structure input unit that inputs the number of rows and columns of a table, a reference table creating unit that creates reference table borders based on the set size of the print table image in the tape-width direction and the input number of rows and columns, and a print table image data editing unit that edits the print table image data by editing a plurality of reference horizontal borders and reference vertical borders of the reference table borders.

Printing system, method for processing data in printing system, program, and storage medium

User can flexibly increase in setting a bar code margin and easily confirm a bar code image relative position. Operability is improved in inputting a character string regarding the bar code. For the margin, a bar code guide giving a target size of a bar code image area is displayed in an input print preview. When the character string regarding the bar code has been already input and a bar code type is changed, the character string already input is checked against character input conditions defined by the post-change type of bar code. In inputting the characters regarding the bar code, the input characters are checked against the character input conditions, such as the character type and the defined number of characters defined by the set bar code type. Therefore, the input character is ignored or displayed in a mode in which the input character is different from other characters.

Tape printing system, tape printing method, and tape printing program

An apparatus, a method and a program are provided, each of which is intended to produce small prints. A variety of graphics are useful as framing elements for outer framing and tabulation with no need for increasing the volume of information to be prestored. One optional character, e.g., a pictogram, can be designated as a front ruling element and/or a rear ruling element for outer framing and tabulation. The optional character is chosen from among characters capable of input as character elements in lines of input characters. Upon execution of a print command, dot development is performed with respect to the front ruling portion and/or the rear ruling portion by utilizing fonts as character elements. Line types for upper ruling and lower ruling can also be designated, thereby effecting dot development depending upon the designated types of lines.
