Patent number: 9440464Abstract: The disclosure discloses a print label producing apparatus including a controller. The controller is configured to execute a print contents acquisition process, a cut pattern acquisition process, a coordination control process, and a display control process. In a cut pattern acquisition process, specification of a cut pattern related to formation of a full-cut position and a half-cut position in producing a print label is acquired. In a coordination control process, print contents acquired are formed on a print-receiving tape, and the half-cut position or the full-cut position are formed in accordance with the cut pattern acquired. In a display control process, a display device is controlled to display an appearance image of a print label together with an identification display of all cut positions of the full-cut position and the half-cut position.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2015Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Keigo Kako

Patent number: 9090096Abstract: The disclosure discloses a printer including a housing, a cartridge holder, a display device, a color detecting portion, and a control portion. The cartridge holder removably mounts a tape cartridge including a print-receiving tape roll and an ink ribbon roll. The display device displays desired content in monochrome. The color detection portion detects first color information representing a color of a print-receiving tape and second color information representing a color of an ink ribbon, in the tape cartridge mounted in the cartridge holder. The control portion controls the display device at appropriate timing with an opening and closing cover closed, to display in text the first color information and the second color information detected by the color detection portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shanshan Guan, Tomoki Miyashita, Keigo Kako

Patent number: 9070054Abstract: This disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a printed matter production processing program for executing steps. The steps comprise an edition-screen display step, a database display step, a region-specification reception step, and a print-object arrangement step. In the edition-screen display step, an edition screen is displayed for receiving an input operation of the print object to be arranged in each of at least one block. In the database display step, a database that is stored in the memory and includes plurality of records is displayed. In the region-specification reception step, specification of a character-string including region is received. The character-string including region includes a plurality of character strings to be allocated as print objects. In the print-object arrangement step, the plurality of character strings included in the character-string including region are allocated to each of the block in accordance with a desired allocation rule.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2014Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shanshan Guan, Tomoki Miyashita, Keigo Kako

Patent number: 9044962Abstract: The disclosure discloses a printer including a first memory, a color detecting portion, a color identification information determining portion, and a transmitting portion. The first memory stores color correlations between a plurality of color types and a plurality of color identification information. The color detecting portion detects first color information of a print-receiving tape and second color information of an ink ribbon, of a tape cartridge mounted to a cartridge holder. The color identification information determining portion determines first color identification information of a color type corresponding to the first color information, and second color identification information of a color type corresponding to the second color information, by referring to color correlations.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2014Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshitsugu Tomomatsu, Koichi Kondo, Keigo Kako

Patent number: 8994766Abstract: The disclosure discloses a printer including a controller. The controller executes a first control, a second control and a switching control. In the first control, it is achieved that a first coordinated state wherein a pulse/dot ratio when a pulse motor rotates at a first rotation speed is set to a first ratio. In the second control, it is achieved that a second coordinated state wherein the pulse/dot ratio when the pulse motor rotates at a second rotation speed is set to a second ratio that is smaller than the first ratio. In the switching control, the pulse/dot ratio is gradually decreased from the first ratio to the second ratio when the first coordinated state is switched to the second coordinated state, and is gradually increased from the second ratio to the first ratio when the second coordinated state is switched to the first coordinated state.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Keigo Kako, Tomoki Miyashita, Yoshitsugu Tomomatsu
