Abstract: A print information processing system includes a terminal device, and a server. The terminal controller controls an image capturing device to capture an image representing at least part of a cassette and acquiring the captured image. The cassette accommodates print medium therein. A server storage stores information concerning a specific content including at least one of print data and information available for editing the print data. The system performs a detection process detecting the cassette by analyzing the captured image and a determination process determining whether the detected cassette satisfies a specific condition. The server controller performs an information transmission process transmitting the information concerning the specific content to the terminal device in a case where the determination process determines that the detected cassette satisfies the specific condition.

Abstract: This disclosure discloses a print label editing apparatus comprising: an operation device that enables an operator to edit print contents to be printed on a print-receiving tape; a display device that displays a print image to be printed; a reference position determining portion that determines whether or not a first reference position in a printable area for an object area exists, based on a preset position of said object area, said object area including a print object within said printable area of a printing device for said print-receiving tape; and an object resetting portion that scales and resets said object area by using said first reference position as a standard in a case where it has been determined that said first reference position exists by said reference position determining portion and a scaling operation that enlarges or reduces said print object has been performed by said operation device.

Abstract: A personal computer connected to a USB port of a printer through a management table managing writing on an ordinary storage region in FLASH ROM recognizes the ordinary storage region in the FLASH ROM of the printer as a removable drive which is a USB mass storage class device. Accordingly, an execution file of an application program stored in a portion of the ordinary storage region in the FLASH ROM can be read with a usual access from the personal computer, enabling the application program to be executed without being installed. When the application program is executed on the personal computer, periodic accesses are made to the ordinary storage region of the printer, and when an access fails, the application program is terminated.

Abstract: When a printing apparatus is connected to a personal computer, an editing program for editing an object to be printed by the printing apparatus is actuated. The printing apparatus connected is set as a printing apparatus to be used, and a layout-editing screen is displayed. A layout image in which a medium set in the printing apparatus is set as a medium to be used is displayed on the layout-editing screen. When the printing apparatus is changed, or the medium set in the printing apparatus is changed while the editing program is being operated, a new layout-editing screen is displayed in which a new printing apparatus, or a new medium, is set as the printing apparatus, or the medium, to be used.

Abstract: When changing a size of a QR code, rather increasing or decreasing a size of cells to thereby scaling up or down an entirety of the QR code respectively, than a size of the entirely of the QR code is increased or decreased by upgrading or downgrading a version of the QR code respectively.

Abstract: In a case wherein a rolled sheet loaded in a tape printer is a non-fixed length rolled sheet, the CPU of the computer device displays a layout edit window which is set to a free length print mode on a display screen of a display. If the free length/fixed length switch button is clicked with a mouse for setting to a fixed length print mode, the CPU displays the layout edit window which is set to the fixed length print mode on the display screen of the display.

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: The relationship between an object and a database item, such as a title item, family name item, address item, city name item, and birth day item are displayed with a link line which connects the object with a database item such that the relationship can be readily observed. The display color of each displayed link line is normally the same color as the background color of a connected database item or the object. Because a link relationship between an object and a database item is displayed with a display color and a link line, the linking of the image to be printed print image with the database can be readily observed.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the immediate surroundings of a vehicle displays on a display within the vehicle cabin a captured image of the vehicle immediate surroundings captured by a camera mounted on a back door which can open and close. The apparatus determines whether the back door is open based on a signal output from a back door courtesy switch. If it is determined that the back door is open, a written notification that the back door is open is superimposed on the display showing the captured image from the camera. If it is determined that the back door is not open, the written notification is not shown.

Abstract: When a file displayed in a file display area of Explorer or the like is dragged or dropped to an item of a connectable machine type displayed in a printer display area of a file management screen, whether or not a connectable machine type in which the file is dropped is a machine type capable of printing the dropped file. If it is determined that the file is of corresponding machine type, the dropped file is registered in the file registration list of the dropped connectable machine type.

Abstract: When a plurality of layout styles are applied successively, enables deletion of an object displayed up to then to be controlled corresponding to user's convenience of use. If application of a layout style is instructed from an operator, whether an object exists in an object memory area is checked and, unless any object exists, an object is added according to the layout style. If an object exists, whether deletion set in each object is permissible is checked and all objects permitted to be deleted are deleted. After that, an object application procedure for matching an object that is not deleted with an object in the layout style is executed and its application result is displayed.
