The disclosure discloses a printer including a housing, a cartridge holder, a display device, a color detecting portion, and a control portion. The cartridge holder removably mounts a tape cartridge including a print-receiving tape roll and an ink ribbon roll. The display device displays desired content in monochrome. The color detection portion detects first color information representing a color of a print-receiving tape and second color information representing a color of an ink ribbon, in the tape cartridge mounted in the cartridge holder. The control portion controls the display device at appropriate timing with an opening and closing cover closed, to display in text the first color information and the second color information detected by the color detection portion.

Printer and recording medium

This disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a printed matter production processing program for executing steps. The steps comprise an edition-screen display step, a database display step, a region-specification reception step, and a print-object arrangement step. In the edition-screen display step, an edition screen is displayed for receiving an input operation of the print object to be arranged in each of at least one block. In the database display step, a database that is stored in the memory and includes plurality of records is displayed. In the region-specification reception step, specification of a character-string including region is received. The character-string including region includes a plurality of character strings to be allocated as print objects. In the print-object arrangement step, the plurality of character strings included in the character-string including region are allocated to each of the block in accordance with a desired allocation rule.

Editing process for creating printed matter, recording medium and printer therefor

A printer is configured to print on a tape-type print medium. The printer includes a processor and a memory. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that instruct the printer to perform a process including displaying, on a display portion, characters, a block break line, and block numbers in a case where print data include block data and block break data. The block break line is a line segment that indicates a break position between adjacent blocks of a plurality of blocks. Each of the plurality of blocks contains at least one line's worth of characters. The block numbers indicate sequence numbers for the plurality of blocks. The block data is data for the plurality of blocks. The block break data is data that indicate the break position. The plurality of blocks is to be printed in a first direction in which the plurality of blocks are arrayed.
