Abstract: An assumption is made a quantity of labels that make up a set of labels that is set in advance is A (S81). A determination is made as to whether or not a specified label exits between n th and (n+A?1)th in a history of printing stored in a history memory area 351 (S85). If a specified label does not exist between n th and (n+A?1)th, an object for processing is moved to a head label n+A of the following set (S87). If, however a specified label is found between n th and (n+A?1)th, a determination is made that the found label between n th and (n+A?1) th is of a set to which the specified label belongs (S89). Further, a set of labels determined in S89 is selected as an object for printing (S91). A determination can be made from the history of printing and from the quantity of labels that make up the set as to which set the specified label belongs, and the set of labels can be deemed as objects for printing.

Abstract: A stroke data input unit, of each of input display boards, transmits to a display unit coordinate data for characters or graphics obtained by an input board unit, by attaching identification (ID) information of the input board unit to the coordinate data. A synchronization display controller of the display unit displays the characters or graphics based on the coordinate data received through a receiver, and the ID information of the input display boards, in respective areas of a display panel. When a user makes a stepping display request, the synchronization display controller reads out the data stored in the stroke data storage unit to estimate an input time for strokes of the characters/graphics. The characters/graphics estimated to be input at approximately the same time in the input display boards, may be displayed in the respective areas of the display panel at approximately the same time.
