Abstract: Data input processing is initiated when an ADD-IN button is pressed in a condition where a data cell of a spreadsheet application is selected. Whether an editor is already activated is determined and, if such is the case, a current mode of the currently activated editor is detected and, if it is activated in an edit mode and an activation mode set in activation setting processing is the edit mode, acquired data is added to the currently activated editor and put in a selected state and displayed on an edit screen.

Abstract: A roll sheet type stored in an apparatus/medium type table, the roll sheet wound on a roll sheet holder of each of label creating apparatuses, and a medium type selected by the user are compared to each other. If both values are equal, one of the label creating apparatuses which accommodates the roll sheet holder holding the roll sheet of the medium type is set to be the label creating apparatus to which a PC sends a print request. As a result, the label creating apparatus can be automatically selected by the PC on the basis of label data created by the PC.

Abstract: In template information to be used for selection of a template, a printer model and an individual printer are identified in a PRINTER MODEL column and the kind of printing media loaded in the printer is identified in a KIND OF MEDIA column and a TEMPLATE USED column is provided to correspond to a combination of a printer model and a kind of media. In the TEMPLATE USED column, templates are stored in reverse chronological order of use and the frequency of use of each template is also stored. When a template is used, the history and frequency of use of each template are updated in the TEMPLATE USED column which corresponds to the relevant printer model, individual printer and kind of printing media.

Abstract: A parallel processor includes a global processor which interprets a program and control controls the entirety of the parallel processor. A processor-element block includes a plurality of processor elements each comprising a register file and an operation array for processing a plurality of sets of data. The global processor outputs a control signal to the plurality of processor elements, and, thereby, sets processor-element numbers corresponding to the plurality of processor elements as input values of the operation arrays, respectively.

Abstract: A character string is stored in a character information storage module 11 as text data while the size of each character is stored in a character size storage module 12. The state of a frame in which the character string is displayed or printed is set to a “configuration fixed state” or a “configuration alterable state” by a frame state setting module 14 and the configuration of the frame is stored in a frame configuration storage module 13. When the frame configuration alteration module 14 has set the frame in the “configuration fixed state”, a character size alteration module 16 alters the memory contents of the character size storage module 12 so that the character string will fit in the frame. When the frame configuration alteration module 14 has set the frame in the “configuration alterable state”, a frame configuration alteration module 13 alters the memory contents of the frame configuration storage module 15 so that the character string will fit in the frame.

Abstract: In template information to be used for selection of a template, a printer model and an individual printer are identified in a PRINTER MODEL column and the kind of printing media loaded in the printer is identified in a KIND OF MEDIA column and a TEMPLATE USED column is provided to correspond to a combination of a printer model and a kind of media. In the TEMPLATE USED column, templates are stored in reverse chronological order of use and the frequency of use of each template is also stored. When a template is used, the history and frequency of use of each template are updated in the TEMPLATE USED column which corresponds to the relevant printer model, individual printer and kind of printing media.

Abstract: A printing data editing apparatus includes a first memory that stores decoration information that includes decoration contents for a plurality of decoration items to be made to at least one object to be printed as group decoration information, wherein the group decoration information comprises at least one piece of the decoration information and is assigned with relative levels; and a controller that is capable of: designating a level of the group decoration information that includes the at least one piece of the decoration information stored in the first memory; and decorating the plurality of decoration items based on decoration contents of each decoration item at a designated level.

Abstract: Print images of all templates in a category are displayed in a template display region. The quantity of templates to be displayed can be freely set using a display quantity spin box and templates in excess of the display quantity can be scrolled. If a text object in a template is selected and direct text data input is executed, inputted data is displayed within that object in a state in which its characters are modified and, further, the input result is displayed in a text box, so that editing is enabled. The editing content is reflected upon a corresponding object of other templates by pressing a display update button or clicking another area, so that the display content of the template display region is updated.

Abstract: In a data processing unit, a range desired to be imported into a database from inputted text created with word processing or spreadsheet software, or as part of an e-mail, is selected and after that, an add-in program is started. The selected text is divided into records composed of several lines according to a stored record allocation condition and if the characters at the heads of lines in a record are identical, those characters are deleted and a character string on a first line is determined to be of a name attribute and a character string of remaining lines is determined to be of an address attribute. Then, the data can be stored in fields of databases corresponding to the attributes.

Abstract: When a character key is pressed for inputting a character (S103: YES), the inputted character is stored in RAM so that the character will be inserted into the position of a caret in a character string (S105). The size of each character is determined based on the length of the character string containing the added character, etc., while the length of a tape image is changed based on the determined character size and the number of lines of the character strings so that the whole character string can be accommodated in the tape image (S106). When the caret goes out of a display range (S108: NO), the tape image is moved so that the caret will be within the display range (S109), by which the operator is allowed to easily check actual layout of a printed tape without the need of performing a complicated manual operation.

Abstract: It is judged whether or not a process mode is in the tape-width-obtaining-mode. If it is in the tape-width-obtaining-mode, the tape width of the tape cassette installed in the printing device is obtained. Based on the obtained tape width, the width of the tape image is changed into the width corresponding to the obtained tape width, and the tape width is displayed in the tape size display area. Thereby, it is possible to edit the text while grasping the paper size and the like of the paper loaded in the printing device.

Abstract: A SIMD processor includes plural processor elements (PEs) each having a processing unit for data processing, a register for holding data to be processed or already processed by the processing unit, a data transfer bus interconnecting with other PEs, and a register controller for inputting a read or write signal to the register. Read and write processing steps in the processor are carried out by the register controller in response to the signals which are sent form the register controller and inputted into a register of specific processor elements responding to an addressing signal from an external interface. The processor is capable of transferring data directly to a specific processor element, thereby achieving higher speeds of data transfer and resultant data processing and makes flexible use of registers to thereby attain efficient data processing utilizing arbitrary combinations of the register depending on bit width of the data.
