Abstract
A first tape cassette or a second tape cassette is assembled in a tape cassette holding portion of a printing device, and a print key is operated. If a normal character image print mode is set based on a value of a print mode flag, the normal character image is printed on a printing tape. If a reflected character image print mode is set, a reflected character image is printed on the printing tape. Moreover, when a third tape cassette is assembled in the tape cassette holding portion of the printing device, the set print mode is disregarded, and the reflected character image is only printed on a base tape.
