Abstract
A print data generating device generates print data printable by a tape printer including a feeding mechanism which feeds a print tape in a scanning direction, a print head which performs print processing on the print tape fed in the scanning direction, and a tape cutter which is arranged downstream of the print head in the scanning direction and cuts the print tape. In the print data generating device, a print direction of a print image is changed in such a way that an image arrangement area on the print image of the print data, and a print area where the print processing is carried out by the print head in a paper feed acceleration/deceleration zone at the time of cutting the print tape, do not overlap with each other.
