Tape cassette and printing apparatus

A printing apparatus configured to print characters in conjunction with a tape cassette, the tape cassette comprising a tape being a printing medium and a first memory device configured to store information including character data being data units for printing the characters on the tape, the character data including specific character data and language information, the specific character data being for printing a specific character which is expressed in a specific format, and the language information indicating a language, to which each of the characters belongs, the printing apparatus comprising:

• an attachable section, to which the tape cassette is detachably attached;
• a second memory device configured to store built-in data being the character data for printing the characters in a predetermined format as in-apparatus stored data;
• a printer;
• a display;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• read the specific character data that satisfies a predetermined condition from the first memory device in the tape cassette being attached to the attachable section;
• determine whether the character data corresponding to an object character is included in one of the first memory device or the second memory device, the object character being one of the characters appointed as a print object;
• appoint, based on a determination that the character data corresponding to the object character is included in one of the first memory device or the second memory device, the character data corresponding to the object character included in the one of the first memory device or the second memory device as print-object data;
• print, by the printer, the object character on the tape in the tape cassette being attached to the attachable section based on the appointed print-object data;
• edit text, the text including the characters, according to an operation of a user through an editor screen displayed in the display;
• and
• control, in response to a command from the user to input one of extended characters through the editor screen, the display to display a part of the characters corresponding to the extended characters to be selectable to the user based on language-indicative data in the character data included in the one of the first memory device or the second memory device, the language indicative data including the language information that indicates a language different from an operable language of the printing apparatus.

A printing apparatus configured to print characters in conjunction with a tape cassette, the tape cassette comprising a tape being a printing medium and a first memory device configured to store information including character data being data units for printing the characters on the tape, the character data including specific character data, language information and typestyle information, the specific character data being for printing a specific character which is expressed in a specific format, the language information indicating a language, to which each of the characters belongs, and the typestyle information indicating a typestyle applied to each of the characters, the printing apparatus comprising:

• an attachable section, to which the tape cassette is detachably attached;
• a second memory device configured to store built-in data being the character data for printing the characters in a predetermined format as in-apparatus stored data;
• a printer;
• a display;

• print, by the printer, the object character on the tape in the tape cassette being attached to the attachable section based on the appointed print-object data;
• and
• edit text, the text including the characters, according to an operation of a user through an editor screen displayed in the display;
• and
• control, in response to a command from the user to apply a typestyle to one of a part of the characters through the editor screen, the display to display at least one applicable typestyle, the applicable typestyle being the typestyle applicable to the one of the part of the characters included in the text, to be selectable to the user based on language-indicative data in the character data included in the one of the first memory device or the second memory device, the language-indicative data including the language information that indicates the operable language of the printing apparatus.
