In an information processing device, a computer prepares first label data including first object data. The first label data and the first object data represent respectively a first image and a first object. The first label data is to be used to create a first label. The computer generates second label data including second object data by using the first label data. The second object data is generated by using the first object data. The second label data and the second object data represent respectively a second image and a second object. The second label data is to be used to create a second label. The first label and the second label are to be overlaid to create a composite label. A region of the first object and a region of the second object are partially overlapped when the first and second labels are to be overlaid.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores a set of program instructions executed by a computer included in an information processing device. The set of program instructions includes: acquiring first print data representing a first image; acquiring second print data representing a second image; outputting a first print instruction to print the first image on a first print medium; outputting a second print instruction to print the second image on a second print medium; and outputting, to a display, a display signal to display a multilayer illustrating image illustrating that the first image and the second image are arranged in layers after the outputting the first print instruction and the outputting the second print instruction are performed.

A label image generation device generates label images corresponding to labels for creating composite labels. In each composite label, a label created from a first printing medium and a label created from a second printing medium are overlaid. A control device generates first and second label images to be formed on the first printing medium, and a third label image to be formed on the second printing medium. The control device displays a first composite image and a second composite image. In the first composite image, the first and third label images are overlaid. In the second composite image, the second and third label images are overlaid. The control device controls a printing mechanism to perform printing for creating the first number of first labels, the second number of second labels, and the third number of third labels. The third number depends on both the first and second numbers.

In an information processing device, a processor is configured to perform: acquiring; displaying; receiving; and identifying. The acquiring acquires from a memory a single set of template data for a composite label. The single set of template data includes a plurality of sets of image data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of print labels and representing respective ones of a plurality of label images. The single composite label is to be created using the plurality of print labels. The displaying displays on a display a composite label image in which the plurality of label images is superimposed on each other. The receiving receives a designating operation on the composite label image via an operating interface. The designating operation targeting a target label image. The identifying identifies target image data corresponding to the target label image from among the plurality of sets of image data.

An information processing device includes a controller. The controller acquires an appearance image configured of a plurality of colors, identifies the plurality of colors configuring the acquired appearance image, and specifying a plurality of printing medium types based on the plurality of identified colors. The plurality of printing medium types includes a first printing medium type and a second printing medium type. The controller generates a first print dataset and a second print dataset by using the appearance image. The first print dataset corresponds to the specified first printing medium type. The second print dataset corresponds to the specified second printing medium type.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores a set of program instructions installed on and executed by a computer provided in a terminal device. The set of program instructions includes receiving a print start operation to start printing images represented by first and second sets of print data. The first set of print data represents a first print image correlated with a first print medium type. The second set of print data represents a second print image correlated with a second print medium type. The set of program instructions include transmitting the first set of print data, and transmitting the second set of print data to the printer. The second print image is to be printed after the first print image is printed. The transmitting the second set of print data is performed before the printer complete printing the first print image.

In a printer, a controller determines a type of print medium currently mounted in a mount portion, and acquires a first set of print data correlated with a first medium type and a second set of print data correlated with a second medium type. In a case that a print medium of the first medium type is mounted in the mount portion, a print portion prints a first print image based on the first set of print data, and thereafter prints a second print image based on the second set of print data. In a case that a print medium of the second medium type is mounted in the mount portion, the print portion prints the second print image based on the second set of print data, and thereafter prints the first print image based on the first set of print data.
