Information processing device having acquiring section acquiring remaining tape length, tape printing device, tape printing system, method for controlling information processing device, and storage medium storing program for controlling information processing device

A tape printing device comprising:

• a printing unit that performs printing on a tape;
• an acquiring section that acquires a remaining tape length that is a length of an unprinted portion of the tape;
• an accepting section that accepts an operation of editing print data and an instruction to print the print data;
• a unit label length calculating section that calculates a unit label length that is a length per label to be created by printing, on the tape, the print data being edited;
• a printable sheet number calculating section that calculates, based on the remaining tape length and the unit label length, the number of printable sheets that indicates how many labels with the unit label length can be created using the tape with the remaining tape length;
• and
• a first sheet number notifying section that notifies a user of the calculated number of printable sheets during the edition of the print data, wherein
• the printing unit prints the print data on the tape based on the instruction to print the print data.

A tape printing system comprising:

• a tape printing device that performs printing on a tape;
• and
• an information processing device that is communicably connected to the tape printing device, wherein
• the information processing device includes
• an acquiring section that acquires a remaining tape length that is a length of an unprinted portion of the tape,
• an accepting section that accepts an operation of editing print data and an instruction to print the print data,
• a unit label length calculating section that calculates a unit label length that is a length per label to be created by printing, on the tape, the print data being edited,
• a printable sheet number calculating section that calculates, based on the remaining tape length and the unit label length, the number of printable sheets that indicates how many labels with the unit label length can be created using the tape with the remaining label length,
• a first sheet number notifying section that notifies a user of the calculated number of printable sheets during the edition of the print data, and
• a transmitter that transmits the print data to the tape printing device based on the instruction to print the print data.

A method for controlling an information processing device that is communicably connected to a tape printing device that performs printing on a tape, the method comprising causing the information processing device to:

• acquire a remaining tape length that is a length of an unprinted portion of the tape;
• accept an operation of editing print data and an instruction to print the print data;
• calculate a unit label length that is a length per label to be created by printing, on the tape, the print data being edited;
• calculate, based on the remaining tape length and the unit label length, the number of printable sheets that indicates how many labels with the unit label length can be created using the tape with the remaining tape length;
• notify a user of the calculated number of printable sheets during the edition of the print data;
• and
• transmit the print data to the tape printing device based on the instruction to print the print data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for controlling an information processing device that is communicably connected to a tape printing device that performs printing on a tape, the program comprising causing the information processing device to:

• acquire a remaining tape length that is a length of an unprinted portion of the tape;
• accept an operation of editing print data and an instruction to print the print data;
• calculate a unit label length that is a length per label to be created by printing, on the tape, the print data being edited;
• calculate the number of printable sheets that indicates how many labels with the unit label length can be created using the tape with the remaining tape length;
• notify a user of the calculated number of printable sheets during the edition of the print data;
• and
• transmit the print data to the tape printing device based on the instruction to print the print data.
