Tape processing apparatus, method of processing tape in tape processing apparatus, and program

A tape processing apparatus comprising:

• a print-processing section having printing means for printing written-letter data on a target tape based on inputted character information;
• and
• an emboss-processing section into which is manually inserted the target tape upon print-processing, said emboss-processing section having embossing means for embossing raised-letter data on the target tape based on the character information,
• wherein said printing means prints on the target tape upside-and-downside identifying information for identifying an upside and a downside of the target tape as seen in the widthwise direction thereof, and
• wherein said emboss-processing section comprises:
• information detection means for detecting the up-and-down identifying information of the inserted tape;
• upside-and-downside distinguishing means for distinguishing the upside and the downside of the target tape depending on a result of detection by said information detection means;
• and
• emboss-controlling means for controlling said embossing means, when the target tape is distinguished by said upside-and-downside distinguishing means to have been inserted upside down, to emboss the raised-letter data in a state of turning by 180 degrees.
