Abstract: A printer driver for controlling a recording device enables easily and accurately configuring functions of a recording device that functions that are difficult to configure. When information specifying whether the transportation means of the printer 3 advances the recording medium between pages during the recording operation, and information specifying whether the roll paper 100 is cut between pages is input, the host computer 1 that controls the printer 3 displays a selection display unit that enables selecting configuration candidates indicating different combinations of whether or not the pages are advanced between pages and whether or not the paper is cut between pages on the display 1a, and when a configuration candidate is selected in the selection display unit, displays an image that graphically depicts the relative positions of the image recorded on the page, the margin formed by advancing the medium between pages, and where the paper is to be cut.

Abstract: It is intended to compensate for a carrier leak for any carrier arrangement. There are provided a carrier leak compensating means 2 for adding compensation values to a received transmission signal, an analog quadrature modulator 4, feedback means 5-7 for receiving and quadrature-detecting part of an output signal of the analog quadrature modulator and outputting a feedback signal in which the frequency of each carrier signal is the same as in the transmission signal, a carrier leak detecting means 800 for detecting an I-phase carrier leak and a Q-phase carrier leak on the basis of the difference between cumulative addition values of an amplitude/phase-adjusted feedback signal and the transmission signal, and a carrier leak compensation value control means 9 for updating the compensation values on the basis of the detected carrier leak. The number of samples for the amplitude/phase detection may be smaller than the number of cumulative addition samples.
