Abstract: The storage unit of a peripheral device has a first storage area and a second storage area. The first storage area stores a plurality of control programs corresponding to a plurality of operating systems of different types. The second storage area is a storage area which is recognized by an information processing apparatus as an external storage device and in which at least one control program is replicated from the first storage area. The information processing apparatus reads out the control program from the second storage recognized by it as the external storage device, and executes the program.

Abstract: A paper printing method for a line printer that can print a next print job with a specific margin without reversing paper. To print on label paper using a head unit having a plurality of line printheads disposed at a specific interval along the conveyance direction of the label paper, a printhead moving step advances a head unit at a first position after printing ends to a second position, and a printing step prints a label while moving the head unit in the reverse of the conveyance direction. At the second position, the printing position of the last line inkjet head of the head unit is on the forward side of the start printing position of a label on the label paper.

Abstract: A shipping label includes a shipping label and an advertising label, and a tear-off tab is formed in the back liner sheet by a score line. After removing the tear-off tab and forming an exposed adhesive layer portion, the label part where the second barcode is printed is folded to the back side of the label to form a back-folded portion, which is held to the back side of the label by the exposed adhesive layer portion. The liner sheet portion contiguous to the tear-off tab is then removed, and the label is attached to the product. Because the second barcode is hidden on the back, only the first barcodes containing tracking information can be read, while the second barcode can be read as needed by unfolding the back-folded portion to the front.

Abstract: A bead type noise filter according to the present invention is constituted by a magnetic core 1 formed of Mn—Zn ferrite having its resistivity increased so as to improve a high frequency characteristic, and having its permittivity lowered, and thereby can successfully suppress radiation noises without distorting the waveform of transmission signals. The magnetic core 1 constituting the bead type noise filter is formed of a high resistivity soft magnetic material, is shaped cylindrical, and has at least one through-hole 1a so as to form a closed magnetic path, and the bead type noise filter is attached on a signal line 2 such that the signal line 2 is inserted through the through-hole 1a. The soft magnetic material has a real part of complex relative permittivity ranging from 1,000 up to 20,000 at 1 kHz and 50 or lower at 1 MHz, and has a resistivity of 150 ?m or higher.
