Abstract
After a character key provided on a keyboard has been operated to input a text, it is determined using a cut-mark key or the like whether or not a cut mark exists. If it is determined that the cut mark exists, the position for printing the cut mark can be set on a liquid crystal display based on width data extending from an upper end of a tape. Then, the cut mark is printed on the tape together with a text in a text memory, based on the cut mark whose position has been set, thereby producing a tape with characters applied thereon.
