Abstract
In a document editing device, the print width of print data that are input from a keyboard or a floppy disk is detected, and a printable range of a print mechanism and the detected print width of the print data are displayed in association with each other on a display. The print width is freely shifted on a display screen by left and right cursors, and its shift position (print start position) is stored in a memory. A printing operation for the print data is performed on the basis of information of the stored shift position. Therefore, the actual print position can be recognized on the display before the printing operation is carried out.
