Printer, printing control program, and printing method

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, storing a printing control program for executing steps on a computer of a printer that comprises a feeder configured to feed a print-receiving tape, and a printing head configured to perform printing of a desired print object on said print-receiving tape fed by said feeder and that is configured to produce at least one printed matter wherein said print object is respectively formed on said print-receiving tape, along a transport direction of said feeder, said steps comprising:

• a print object receiving step for receiving an input operation of said print object comprising a print identifier that can be incremented in accordance with a predetermined regularity and is respectively disposed in a plurality of blocks that can be set in a plurality in a tape length direction in relation to one said printed matter;
• a setting image generation step for generating a setting image in relation to said printed matter wherein said plurality of blocks, each comprising said print object, is arranged in a tape length direction, based on a reception result in said print object receiving step;
• a setting displaying step for displaying said setting image generated in said setting image generating step;
• a first increment mode receiving step for receiving a setup operation of specification of at least one said print identifier to be incremented, an increment interval, and an increment execution count when said print identifier is to be incremented;
• a first image generating step for respectively generating first printed matter images wherein said print identifier is incremented in accordance with a setup operation received in said first increment mode receiving step, using a plurality of different types of increment patterns;
• a first displaying step for displaying in list format said first printed matter images using said plurality of types of increment patterns, generated in said first image generating step;
• a second increment mode receiving step for receiving a selection operation of any one of said plurality of types of increment patterns in relation to said first printed matter images displayed in said list format;
• a second image generating step for respectively generating second printed matter images wherein said print identifier is incremented in accordance with the setup operation received in said first increment mode receiving step and for which is used a type of increment pattern received in said second increment mode receiving step, using a plurality of different types of assignment patterns when the print objects are to be assigned to each printed matter;
• a second displaying step for displaying in list format said second printed matter images using said plurality of types of assignment patterns, generated in said second image generating step;
• a third increment mode receiving step for receiving a selection operation of any one of said plurality of types of assignment patterns in relation to said second printed matter images displayed in said list format;
• and
• a printing control step for controlling said feeder and said printing head so as to generate at least one said printed matter corresponding to said second printed matter images using said selected assignment pattern, in accordance with said selection operation received in said third increment mode receiving step.

A printing method executed by a printer that comprises a feeder configured to feed a print-receiving tape, and a printing head configured to perform printing of a desired print object on said print-receiving tape fed by said feeder, and that is configured to produce at least one printed matter wherein said print object is respectively formed on said print-receiving tape, along a transport direction of said feeder, said steps comprising:

• a print object receiving step for receiving an input operation of said print object comprising a print identifier that can be incremented in accordance with a predetermined regularity and is respectively disposed in a plurality of blocks that can be set in a plurality in a tape length direction in relation to one said printed matter;
• a setting image generation step for generating a setting image in relation to said printed matter wherein said plurality of blocks, each comprising said print object, is arranged in a tape length direction, based on a reception result in said print object receiving step;
