Abstract: A CPU 81 displays a virtual tape 201 of a length obtained by subtracting a length (l1+l2) from an antenna 33 to a thermal head 9 from a data value of an “IC chip pitch length L” when it determines that a printing object tape 531 of type 1 is accommodated in a tape cassette 21. A “tape width” is displayed on the right side of the virtual tape 201. A tape length of the virtual tape 201 is displayed below it. A “tape type” is displayed below it. Then, the CPU 81 displays a print area 202 on the virtual tape 201 from a data value of the “print area” while a right side portion thereof serves as a non-print area. It displays the print data inputted into the print area 202 and waits for the return key 4 to be pressed.

Abstract: A personalized product producing system enables customers to order a personalized product, such as a name card, a stamp, or a sticker/label, inexpensively and conveniently. Customers operate their own cellular phones to send personalized information to be engraved in a stamp or printed on a name card or sticker/label in the form of e-mail to a host computer. The host computer edits the information and sends personalized product producing data to a stamp personalized product producing device. The personalized product producing device produces a personalized product based on the received data.

Abstract: The number of lines of character strings to be printed on a cable label 11 is calculated (S730) and line spacing is calculated so that the distance between the lines of the character strings of the calculated number of lines will be equalized (S740). A print image rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees is generated so that the character string will be in the width direction of the print tape 10 (S750). Printing is executed (S790) by successively arranging print images for the calculated number of lines while placing print images at both ends of the cable label 11 (S760) and securing the calculated line spacing.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for manufacturing molded processed food are provided which can manufacture planar molded processed food having both non-dense and dense states and heterogeneous eating texture. The apparatus comprises a mold mechanism 5 comprising an upper mold 3 and a lower mold 5, a rotation mechanism 4 for rotating at least one of the upper mold 3 and lower mold 5 around a rotation shaft 2 which is perpendicular to a mounting surface 11 of the lower mold 5, and a first moving mechanism 6 for moving the upper mold 3 in closer and separated directions to/from the lower mold 5.

Abstract: A data processing device and method permit improved display of data and characters on a display. When an enlargement display key is input after designating characters, a line or block, on the enlargement display flag signal is indicated. The device and method permit the displayed data to be have its size increased on a display screen so as to be equal to the size to be printed. However, if the size to be printed is too small to be clearly viewed, the data on the display screen can be enlarged and an appropriate signal is displayed on the display.

Abstract: A stencil producing apparatus for producing a stencil having a desired stencil image is provided with a storing unit for storing a plurality of image forming elements. The stencil producing apparatus is further provided with a selecting unit for selecting one of the plurality of image forming elements which corresponds to a desired stencil image. In the stencil producing apparatus, a perforating unit selectively perforates a blank stencil paper to form a hole corresponding to the selected image forming element, to thereby produce a stencil having the desired stencil image.

Abstract: In a heat print device for a stamp unit, a dummy stamp unit is mounted on the heat print device to tentatively thermally print a character array of normal characters on the heat sensitive sheet of a dummy stamp unit before a stamp unit is mounted on the heat print device to perform perforation printing of a character array of mirror characters of the normal characters on the print face portion of a stamp unit. If the character array formed on the heat sensitive sheet of the dummy stamp is satisfactory with respect to the character array, the character size, and the arrangement of the character array, the stamp unit is mounted on the heat printing device to perform the perforation print of the character array of the mirror characters on the print face portion of the stamp unit.

Abstract: A stamp device is capable of selecting a current supply time for use by a thermal head in accordance with an ink temperature detected by a temperature sensor so as to control the size of perforations to be formed on a heat sensitive stencil paper by the thermal head. Therefore, the stamp device can form uniform images even when there is a variation in the viscosity of ink caused by changes in the evironmental temperature of the stamp device.
