Printing controller and printing control program

A print control device employed for printing a character string including characters and/or symbols on a plurality of labels arranged on a long tape-like print medium along the length of the print medium, comprising:

• a character string memory which stores a character string to be printed;
• a separating point detecting unit that detects one or more separating points in the character string stored in the character string memory based on a separation condition as a particular character string arrangement condition;
• and
• a character string separating unit that lets character strings, obtained by separating the character string stored in the character string memory at the separating points detected by the separating point detecting unit, be separately printed on different labels on the print medium.

A computer program product for printing a character string including characters and/or symbols on a plurality of labels arranged on a long tape-like print medium along the length of the print medium, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions that cause a computer to function as:

• a character string memory that stores a character string to be printed;
• a separating point detecting unit that detects one or more separating points in the character string stored in the character string memory based on a separation condition as a particular character string arrangement condition;
• and
• a character string separating unit that lets character strings, obtained by separating the character string stored in the character string memory at the separating points detected by the separating point detecting unit, be separately printed on different labels on the print medium.

A print control method employed for printing a character string including characters and/or symbols on a plurality of labels arranged on a long tape-like print medium along the length of the print medium, comprising the steps of:

• storing a character string to be printed;
• detecting a particular separation condition in the stored character string;
• separating the character string based on the detected separation condition;
• and
• separately printing character strings obtained by the separation on different labels on the print medium.
