Label image generation device generating a plurality of label images corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of labels for creating composite labels

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of program instructions installed on and executed by a computer included in a label image generation device for generating a plurality of label images corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of labels, the plurality of label images being used for creating one or more composite labels, wherein in each of the one or more composite labels a label for a first layer created from a first printing medium and a label for a second layer created from a second printing medium are overlaid, the set of program instructions, when executed by the computer, causing the label image generation device to perform:

• acquiring a piece of base data from among one or more pieces of base data, the acquired piece of base data including a first object region for a first-layer image for the first layer and a second object region for a second-layer image for the second layer, each piece of base data being data to be used for generating the plurality of label images;
• displaying a first editing screen corresponding to the first object region and a second editing screen corresponding to the second object region, the first editing screen being for editing the first-layer image for the first layer and modifying the acquired piece of base data according to the editing of the first-layer image, the second editing screen being for editing the second-layer image for the second layer and modifying the acquired piece of base data according to the editing of the second-layer image, the editing in the first editing screen being allowed within a first allowable degree of freedom, the editing in the second editing screen being allowed within a second allowable degree of freedom different from the first allowable degree of freedom;
• and
• generating the plurality of label images based on at least one of modification of the acquired piece of base data through the first editing screen and modification of the acquired piece of base data through the second editing screen.

A label image generation device comprising:

• a control device to generate a plurality of label images corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of labels, the plurality of label images being used for creating one or more composite labels, wherein in each of the one or more composite labels a label for a first layer created from a first printing medium and a label for a second layer created from a second printing medium are overlaid,
• wherein the control device is configured to perform:
• a first generation process to generate a first label image for the first layer to be formed on the first printing medium;
• a second generation process to generate a second label image for the first layer to be formed on the first printing medium, the second label image being different from the first label image;
• a third generation process to generate a third label image for the second layer to be formed on the second printing medium;
• displaying a first composite image representing an image of a first composite label and a second composite image representing an image of a second composite label, wherein in the first composite image, the first label image and the third label image are overlaid, wherein in the second composite image, the second label image and the third label image are overlaid;
• and
• controlling a printing mechanism to print the first label image a first number of times on the first printing medium for creating the first number of first labels for the first layer, to print the second label image a second number of times on the first printing medium for creating the second number of second labels for the first layer, and to print the third label image a third number of times on the second printing medium for creating the third number of third labels for the second layer in a manner that a combination of the first number of first labels and the second number of second labels is printed continuously, the third number depending on both the first number and the second number.

• displaying a first editing screen corresponding to the first object region and a second editing screen corresponding to the second object region, the first editing screen being for editing the first-layer image for the first layer and modifying the acquired piece of base data according to the editing of the first-layer image, the second editing screen being for editing the second-layer image for the second layer and modifying the acquired piece of base data according to the editing of the second-layer image, the editing in the first editing screen being allowed within a first allowable degree of freedom, the editing in the second editing screen being allowed within a second allowable degree of freedom different from the first allowable degree of freedom;
• and
• generating the plurality of label images based on at least one of modification of the acquired piece of base data through the first editing screen and modification of the acquired piece of base data through the second editing screen.
