Abstract: A label printer having a system unit in which price or other such print data is printed on labels. The label printer includes a touch-screen device by which print data setting information to be entered by a hierarchical system of operation screens displayed on the touch-screen may be entered at any desired level in the operating screen hierarchy. Thus, the label printer provides simplified and quick label printout operations by eliminating the need to repeat the input of print data that has already been input. In the label printer of the print data setting information sets the prescribed content of the data to be printed on a label, and print data editing information determines where the data is to be printed on the label and in what format. The print data setting information and the print data editing information are entered by a hierarchy of operating screens displayed in sequence on a touch-screen provided on the label printer system unit.
