【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の請求項１に係る印字装置は、文字を入力する文字キー及び印字の機能に関する種々の設定を行うための機能キーを備え、前記機能キーには特定の言語によって当該キーの機能が予め表記された入力手段と、前記文字キーの操作により入力された文字列を表示するとともに、前記機能キーの操作に基づいて当該キーの機能に対応する情報を表示する表示手段と、前記文字キーにより入力された文字列を記録紙に印字する印字手段とを備えた印字装置であって、前記機能キーの操作に基づいて前記表示手段に表示する情報の言語を前記特定の言語を含む複数の言語から設定する言語設定手段と、前記特定の言語を除く前記複数の各言語で前記機能キーの表記に関する印字情報を予め記憶する印字情報記憶手段と、前記言語設定手段によって前記特定の言語とは異なる言語が設定されたときに、前記印字情報記憶手段から前記設定された言語に対応する印字情報を読み出す印字情報読出し手段と、前記印字情報読出し手段によって読み出された印字情報を前記印字手段によって裏面に接着剤が塗布された印字用テープの印字面に印字する印字制御手段とを備えることを特徴とする。 [0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A printing apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a character key for inputting characters and a function key for performing various settings relating to a printing function, and the function key is previously provided to the function key according to a specific language. By means of written input means, a display means for displaying a character string inputted by the operation of the character key and displaying information corresponding to the function of the key based on the operation of the function key, and the character key And a printing unit for printing the input character string on a recording sheet, wherein the language of the information to be displayed on the display unit based on the operation of the function key is a plurality of languages including the specific language Language setting means for setting from the above, print information storage means for storing in advance the print information regarding the notation of the function key in each of the plurality of languages except the specific language, and the language setting means Print information reading means for reading out print information corresponding to the set language from the print information storage means when a language different from the specific language is set, and print information read by the print information read means And printing control means for printing information on the printing surface of the printing tape to which the adhesive is applied on the back surface by the printing means.

このような構成の印字装置によれば、ユーザにより特定の言語以外の言語が設定されたときに、入力手段の機能キーに予め設けられた特定の言語による表記に代わって設ける表記を前記設定された言語で裏面に接着剤が塗布された印字用テープの印字面に印字してユーザに提供できることで、当該印字物を入力手段の機能キーに直接貼り付けてその機能キーの表記を設定した言語に対応したものに変更できる。 According to the printing apparatus having such a configuration, when a language other than the specific language is set by the user, the notation provided instead of the notation in the specific language provided in advance in the function key of the input means is set. It was that it provides the user with printed on the print surface of the print tape of adhesive applied to the back side in the language, set the representation of the function keys directly attached to the printed product to the function keys of the input means It can be changed to one corresponding to the language.

また、本発明の請求項６では、装置に装填される印字用テープの幅を検出するテープ幅検出手段と、前記テープ幅検出手段で検出されたテープ幅が特定の幅でないときに前記印字制御手段による印字動作を禁止する印字禁止手段とを更に備えることを特徴とする。これにより、機能キーの機能に関する表記が印字される印字用テープの幅がキーの機能表記に適当なサイズである特定の幅でないときに印字動作が禁止されることで、無駄な印字を防止できる。 Further, in claim 6 of the present invention, the printing control when the tape width detecting means for detecting a width of the print tape to be loaded in the apparatus, the tape width detected by said tape width detection means is not the specific width And printing inhibiting means for inhibiting printing operation by the means. As a result, unnecessary printing can be prevented by prohibiting the printing operation when the width of the printing tape on which the notation concerning the function of the function key is printed is not a specific width which is an appropriate size for the function notation of the key. .

【発明の効果】
以上詳記したように本発明によれば、本印字装置の入力手段の機能キーに予め設けられた特定の言語による表記に代わって設ける表記をユーザが設定した言語で裏面に接着剤が塗布された印字用テープの印字面に印字してユーザに提供することができる。したがって、ユーザはその印字物を入力手段の機能キーに直接貼り付けてその機能キーの表記を設定した言語に対応したものに変更することができ、その変更後のキー表記を見ながら機能キーを正しく操作して印字作業を行えるようになる。 [0063]
【Effect of the invention】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention , the adhesive is applied to the back surface in the language set by the user, in place of the notation provided in the specific language which is provided in advance in the function key of the input means of the printing apparatus. The printing can be provided to the user by printing on the printing surface of the printing tape . Therefore, the user can directly paste the printed matter on the function key of the input means and change the notation of the function key to one corresponding to the set language, and while looking at the key notation after the change, the function key It becomes possible to operate correctly and to print.
