Abstract
A tape printing apparatus registers a word string constituting document data to be printed by depression of a print key in a learnt-contents storing region under subscribed conditions. A CPU divides the document data to be printed into letter strings based on information about constituent letters of the to-be-printed word string and a learning condition determination table. Thereafter, the CPU determines whether or not the to-be-printed word string should be registered based on registered letter string data stored in the learnt-contents storing region and the contents of the divided letter string.
Claims9
A printer comprising:
- a letter string input unit that inputs letter string data consisting of plural letters as to-be-printed target;
- a print operation unit that is operated when inputted letter string data that has been inputted by the letter string input unit as to-be-printed target;
- a print unit that prints the inputted letter string on a printing medium in accordance with an operation of the print operation unit;
- a storage unit that stores registered letter string data including a specific letter string;
- a detector unit that detects registration-target letter string data to be stored in the storage unit from the inputted letter string data when an operation of the print operation unit is carried out;
- and
- a registration unit that registers the registration-target letter string data detected by the detector unit in the storage unit as the registered letter string data in accordance with a predetermined condition,
- wherein the printer further comprises:
- a divider unit that divides the registration-target letter string data into specific letter string data corresponding to the specific letter string and additional letter string data that is added to the specific letter string data;
- a judgment unit that judges accord and discord between the registration-target letter string data and a combination of the specific letter string data and the additional letter string data, based on registered letter string stored in the storage unit;
- and
- a registration control unit that controls the registration unit so as to change registration rules for storing registration-target letter string data in the storage unit in accordance with a judgment result obtained by the judgment unit.
