Abstract
An apparatus includes an information obtaining device configured to obtain information representing an optionally designated position on an object, a projector, a processing device, a pattern specifying device and a control device. The control device is configured to cause the apparatus to specify two designated positions on an object based on information obtained by the information obtaining device, to change a size of a specified pattern according to a distance between the specified designated positions, to cause the projector to project a marker onto the object in a size matched with the changed size of the pattern, based on the specified designated positions on the object, to determine a cutting or printing position of the pattern based on the specified designated positions on the object and to control the processing device to perform cutting or printing of the pattern in the changed size at the determined cutting or printing positions.
