and a display processing unit performing control to display, on a display unit, a print setting screen for a printer printing a label, the print setting screen including the sample image. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing device comprising: a generation unit generating a sample image showing each of a first surface and a second surface that are next to each other of a label attachment target object having a plurality of surfaces, and a first image and a second image allocated to the first surface and the second surface, respectively, in association with each other; and a display processing unit performing control to display, on a display unit, a print setting screen for a printer printing a label, the print setting screen including the sample image. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the label attachment target object is a rectangular parallelepiped, the information processing device further comprises: an acceptance unit accepting a designation of the first surface and the second surface from among six surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped in response to a user operation; and an orientation decision unit deciding an orientation of the image allocated to the first surface and the image allocated to the second surface, based on a positional relationship between the first surface and the second surface that are designated, and the generation unit generates the sample image where the image is allocated in the orientation decided by the orientation decision unit. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the display processing unit displays the rectangular parallelepiped, and the acceptance unit accepts the designation of the first surface and the second surface from among the six surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped in response to the user operation to the rectangular parallelepiped that is displayed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising: an acceptance unit accepting a designation of an orientation of the image on at least one surface of the first surface and the second surface, wherein the generation unit generates the sample image where the image is allocated in the orientation according to the designation. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein at least one image of the first image and the second image is an image showing a letter string drawn from text data, and the information processing device further comprises a letter string adjustment unit adjusting drawing data of the image in such a way that the letter string of the text data is vertically arranged when the at least one image is a vertically long image, whereas the letter string of the text data is horizontally arranged when the at least one image is a horizontally long image. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising: an acceptance unit accepting a designation of a margin width between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the generation unit changes at least one of a position and a size of the images allocated to the first surface and the second surface, according to the designation of the margin width. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein when at least one of the first image and the second image is provided with a blank, the generation unit generates the sample image, assuming that the margin width whose designation is accepted includes the blank. ### Claim 8 An information processing method executed by an information processing device, the method comprising: a generation step of generating a sample image showing each of a first surface and a second surface that are next to each other of a label attachment target object having a plurality of surfaces, and a first image and a second image allocated to the first surface and the second surface, respectively, in association with each other; and a display processing step of performing control to display, on a display unit, a print setting screen for a printer printing a label, the print setting screen including the sample image. ### Claim 9 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program causing a computer to function as: a generation unit generating a sample image showing each of a first surface and a second surface that are next to each other of a label attachment target object having a plurality of surfaces, and a first image and a second image allocated to the first surface and the second surface, respectively, in association with each other; and a display processing unit performing control to display, on a display unit, a print setting screen for a printer printing a label, the print setting screen including the sample image.
