A computer-readable storage medium is provided to have a print control program embedded thereon. The program is executable by a print control apparatus that includes an information memory that memorizes an outer diameter for each of a plural different cylindrical members. The program, when being executed by the print control apparatus and when an outer diameter is selected from a plurality of outer diameters of cylindrical members by a user and a cylindrical member associated with the user-selected outer diameter corresponds to one of the plural cylindrical members memorized in the information memory, causes the print control apparatus to determine at least part of a label configuration based on the dimension of the selected cylindrical member and arrange a print image within at least one of a range corresponding to the at least part of the determined label configuration and a second range adjacent to the first range.

Print control apparatus and print control program

A cable label having a desired configuration is provided without forcing a user to do any troublesome work. A character string to be printed on a cable label is memorized in a character string memory section. A print image generating section generates a character string memorized in the character string memory section. A designation and its outside diameter value, for example, of each of plural cables are memorized in a cable information memory section. A label length determining section determines the length of a cable label based on the outside diameter value of a selected cable. A print image arranging section arranges a print image generated by the print image generating section within a length determined by a label length determining section.

A tape printing apparatus that prints a character string including a plurality of character regions divided by specified delimiting codes, which composes of space codes, tab codes and new block codes, onto a tape, there is provided a normal printing means for performing normal printing with the character region being in a normal order, and an inversed printing means for performing inversed order printing for printing a character string with the character regions being in inversed order.

Tape printing apparatus

A printing apparatus comprises input means for inputting various characters, design setting means for selecting a design pattern including a frame to be added around the characters and a background pattern to be added on a background of the characters thereby to emphasize the characters, memory means for storing ornament frame data of an ornament frame to be arranged in both ends of the frame and mask data of the ornament frame, first data producing means for producing first frame data on the frame selected by the design setting means, the first frame data having a predetermined area, and first background pattern data on the background pattern selected by the design setting means, the first background pattern data having a predetermined area, second data producing means for producing design data by generating second background pattern data by a logical multiply of the first background pattern data and the mask data of the ornament frame and arranging the second background pattern data within second frame data specified by the ornament frame data and the first frame data, character data arrangement means for arranging character data input by means of the input means in the design data, and printing means for printing the design data and character data.
