Abstract
A tape printing apparatus that prints a character string including a plurality of character regions divided by specified delimiting codes, which composes of space codes, tab codes and new block codes, onto a tape, there is provided a normal printing means for performing normal printing with the character region being in a normal order, and an inversed printing means for performing inversed order printing for printing a character string with the character regions being in inversed order.
Claims43
A tape printing apparatus that prints a character string including a plurality of character regions divided by specified delimiting codes onto a tape, the apparatus comprising a controller that:
- controls normal printing with the character regions being printed in an order in which the characters were input;
- and
- controls inversed order printing of a character string with the character regions being printed in an order inverse to which the characters were input.
A tape printing apparatus that prints a character string including a plurality of character regions divided by specified delimiting codes onto a tape, the apparatus comprising a controller that:
- controls normal printing with the character regions being printed in an order in which the characters were input;
- and
- controls inversed order printing for printing a character string with the character regions being printed in an order inverse to which the characters were input;
- and
- controls selecting between the normal printing and the inversed order printing.
A tape printing apparatus that prints a character string including a plurality of character regions divided by specified delimiting codes onto a tape, the apparatus comprising:
- a normal printing mechanism that performs normal printing with the character regions being in a normal order;
- and
- an inversed printing mechanism that performs inversed order printing for printing a character string with the character regions being in inversed order.
A tape printing apparatus that prints a character string including a plurality of character regions divided by specified delimiting codes onto a tape, the apparatus comprising:
- a normal printing mechanism that performs normal printing with the character regions being in a normal order;
- and
- an inversed printing mechanism that performs inversed order printing for printing a character string with the character regions being in inversed order,
- wherein the apparatus further includes a controller that selects between the normal printing and the inversed order printing.
A method of controlling a tape printing apparatus that prints a character string including a plurality of character regions divided by specified delimiting codes onto a tape, the method comprising:
- performing normal printing with the character regions being in a normal order;
- and
- performing inversed order printing for printing a character string with the character regions being in inversed order.
