Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure the normal printing when a portable storage medium is issued. SOLUTION: If the length of the printing data is changed among the data items of a database when the database is preserved, an arithmetic part 20 of a host computer 10 calculates a printable range of the data item whose data length is changed from the information on a printable area of a print design definition file 8 and then decides whether the print range of the data item is included in the printable area or not. If the print range is excluded from the printable area, a warning message screen and a print design definition screen are shown at a display part 2. When an operator changes the print definition of the data item to be excluded from the printable area on the print design definition screen or changes the database to set the print range within the printable area, the changed print design definition or the database is preserved.
