  • Patent number: 8739054
    Abstract: In a case wherein a drop area of a capture window is clicked with a mouse and text is entered through a keyboard, a CPU of a computer device changes the drop area of a capture window to an edit area which displays text characters that were entered from the keyboard. The CPU changes the capture button to a print button used to enter a command for text printing. If the print button is clicked with the mouse, the CPU outputs the text which is displayed on the edit area to a tape printer as print data.
