A method of forming a label with a label forming apparatus having a printing section for performing printing while feeding a processing tape, and a working section for performing physical working on the processing tape while feeding the processing tape. The apparatus is capable of selectively performing print processing for performing printing, work processing for performing physical working, and print-and-work processing for performing printing and working on the processing tape based on inputted information. The apparatus is also capable of continuous processing for forming a single continuous label in which a plurality of labels are formed in series. The method includes allowing the continuous processing in the print processing and the work processing, and prohibiting the continuous processing in the print-and-work processing.
