For example, the print head 109 that is an example of a printing unit may be a printing unit that performs printing on the printing medium M using another printing method such as an inkjet method.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the label image creation method according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the label image creation screen 50.

6 to 9 are explanatory diagrams of a first example for explaining duplication of a label image.
A label image creation screen 50 shown in FIG. 5 is an example of a creation screen displayed on the display unit 5 of the label image creation apparatus 1 shown in FIG.

The label image creation screen 50 includes a menu bar 51, a large tool bar 52, a small tool bar 53, an image display area 54, a label setting unit 55, and a character setting unit 56.
The menu bar 51 displays a list of functions related to each menu when each menu such as file and edit is pressed.

  The toolbar large 52 and the toolbar small 53 are respectively arranged with icon large or icon small, and the CPU 2 executes processing corresponding to the operation when each icon is pressed. The small icon at the right end of the small tool bar 53 is a copy icon 53a for receiving copy settings to be described later.

  At the upper end and the left end of the image display area 54, as shown in FIG. 6, a scale 54a in which the upper left corner of the label image L11 is 0 is expressed in mm. The vertical axis of the scale 54a represents the label width of the label image L11 (that is, the tape width of the printing medium M shown in FIG. 2), and the horizontal axis of the scale 54a represents the length of the label image L11.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the label image L11 displayed in the image display area 54 includes a part P11-1 composed of characters “Taro Hagio” and “management number (1)” (FIGS. 6, 8, and FIG. 6). And a part P11-2 made up of the letters “9”. The parts P11-1 and P11-2 are not limited to parts made of characters, and may be parts made of pictures, figures, and the like. A broken line in the label image L11 represents a printable area.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a plurality of label images L11 to L15 can be displayed in the image display area 54. The plurality of label images L11 to L15 are continuously printed on the printing medium M by the above-described printing apparatus 100 when the user inputs a print instruction at the input unit 4 shown in FIG. A plurality of labels are continuously created. In the printing apparatus 100, the first label image L11 is printed in the left-right direction from the left end to the right end, for example, and then the second and subsequent label images L12 to L15 are sequentially printed in the left-right direction.

The label setting unit 55 sets the width, length, and the like of the labels to be created (label images L11 to L15).
The character setting unit 56 sets the font, size, orientation, and the like of characters included in one or more parts P11-1, P11-2,..., P15-2 constituting the label images L11 to L15. .

The process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 starts when the copy icon 53a shown in FIG. 5 is pressed.
First, when the CPU 2 shown in FIG. 1 receives a copy setting from the user by pressing the copy icon 53a, the CPU 2 determines whether there are parts P11 and P12 selected by the user (step S1). In addition, selection of a part is performed by clicking the desired parts P11-1 and P11-2 using the mouse device of the input part 3 shown in FIG. 1, for example.

  If it is determined that the parts P11 and P12 are not selected in the image display area 54 shown in FIG. 6 (step S1: NO), the CPU 2 displays the label image duplication window 57 shown in FIG. Is displayed. In this duplication window 57, the CPU 2 accepts the setting of the number of duplications of the label image L11 from the user (step S2).

  In the label image duplication window 57, when the user sets the number of duplications to five as shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 2 determines that the number of label images L11 displayed on the label image creation screen 50 (image display area 54) is the number of duplications. It is determined whether or not the number has reached 5 (step S3).

  In the first example shown in FIG. 6, since the number of label images L11 is 1, the CPU 2 determines that the number of duplicates has not reached 5 (step S3: NO), as shown in FIG. In addition, four label images L12 to L15, which are insufficient, are created. This duplication processing is not particularly limited. For example, only a shortage of label frames, that is, frames of label images L12 to L15 having no parts are created (step S4), and then the parts of the label image L11 are created in this frame. Parts corresponding to P11-1 and P11-2, for example, parts P12-1, P13-1, P14-1, and P15-1 consisting of the characters “Taro Hagio” having the same data contents, and the same data contents, for example Parts P12-2, P13-2, P14-2, and P15-2 made of the characters “management number (1)” are created (step S5).

  On the other hand, if the CPU 2 determines that the number of label images has reached the number of copies (step S3: YES), the parts corresponding to the parts P11-1 and P11-2 of the label image L11 located at the highest level. If the other label image does not have, the parts P11-1 and P11-2 are duplicated at the corresponding coordinate positions of the other label image (step S5). Here, “corresponding parts” are, for example, parts having the same data contents (characters, pictures, graphics, etc.), parts having the same data content type even if the data contents are different, and data contents being different. Also, parts that are at the same position (for example, when the center positions match or when parts of the parts overlap each other), parts that have the same size even if the data contents are different, etc. may be set as appropriate. . “Parts with the same data content type” means, for example, parts created based on a common format and the types of letters, pictures, figures, etc. (alphabet, numbers, kanji, hiragana, katakana, etc.) And parts that have the same number of characters, pictures, figures, etc. The “corresponding coordinate position” is a positional relationship with an arbitrary reference position (for example, the upper left corner) in each label image, or a positional relationship with other parts (for example, other parts P21-1 to P21-1). (Interval with P25-1).

  For the parts P12-2, P13-2, P14-2, and P15-2 composed of the characters “management number (1)” shown in FIG. 8, the user selects a mouse device or a keyboard device in the image display area 54. As shown in FIG. 9, each of the label images L12 to L15 created after the second sheet is used as “management number (2)”, “management number (3)”, “management number (4)”, Alternatively, an operation of changing to parts P12-2 (C), P13-2 (C), P14-2 (C), and P15-2 (C) including the characters “management number (5)” can be performed. Alternatively, the parts P12-2 (C), P13-2 (C), and P14 are composed of the letters “management number” and the circled numbers representing the number of the label image. -2 (C) and P15-2 (C) are set in advance (for example, if the first label image has a number “1”, the number of sheets in the second and subsequent label images) Based on the setting for changing to a number representing the above), when copying, the part corresponding to the part P11-2 of the label image L11 may be changed to a part P11-2 including the letters “management number (1)”. .

  The process of duplicating the label image L11 itself ends with the process up to step S5. Here, the five label images L21 to L25 shown in FIG. 10 are “Kashio”, “Uesugi”, “Tanaka”, “ Consider a second example having parts P21-1 to P25-1 consisting of the characters "Yamamoto" or "Kanda", and further having a part P21-2 consisting only of a label image L21. The five label images L21 to L25 have the same size, but may have substantially the same size, such as slightly different lengths.

  In this second example, when the CPU 2 accepts a copy setting from the user by pressing the same copy icon 53a as the above-described copy setting acceptance, the CPU 2 selects the part P21-2 by the user. In the case (selected part P21-2 (S)), it is determined that the part P21-2 is selected in the determination process (step S1) of whether or not the above-described part is selected (step S1: YES). Further, the CPU 2 extracts (picks up) the label images L22 to L25 that do not have a part corresponding to the part P21-2 (S) selected by the user (step S6). Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 2 selects the selected part P21− at the corresponding coordinate position of the label images L22 to L25 that do not have a part corresponding to the part P21-2 (S) selected by the user. 2 is created to create parts P22-2 to P25-2 (step S7).

  The parts P22-2 to P25-2 created by duplication have the same data content, position, and size as the selected part P21-2, but the labels are based on the above-described predetermined settings. When copying the part P11-2 of the image L11, the data content of the part P11-2 may be changed. Further, when a part protruding from the label image L21 is duplicated, the entire part may be duplicated if the center of the part is included in the label image L21. In addition, when a plurality of parts are selected, the selected plurality of parts may be duplicated.

  The processing for duplicating the part P21-2 ends with the processing up to step S7. Here, the five label images L31 to L35 shown in FIG. 12 are the parts P31-1 including the characters “ABCDE”. Consider a third example that further includes a part P31-2 having P35-1, and only the label image L31 is a star-shaped figure.

  Also in the third example, as in the second example described above, when the part P31-2 is selected by the user (the selected part P31-2 (S)), whether the part is selected. In the determination process (step S1), the CPU 2 determines that the part P31-2 is selected (step S1: YES), and the label image does not have a part corresponding to the part P31-2 selected by the user. L32 to L35 are extracted (step S6), and as shown in FIG. 13, by copying the selected part P31-2 to the corresponding coordinate position of the label images L32 to L35, the parts P32-2 to P35-2 are copied. Is created (step S7).

  Here, the first part which is the selected part P31-2 (S) and the other part P31-1 (second part) included in the common label image L31 (first label image) are included. Let us consider a case where they are located so as to overlap at least partially. In this case, in the second label images L32 to L35 having the parts P32-1 to P35-1 corresponding to the second part P31-1, the parts corresponding to the selected first part P31-2 are present. For the second label images L32 to L35 not to be selected, when the selected first part P31-2 is duplicated, the second label images L32 to L35 are selected at the corresponding coordinate positions of the second label images L32 to L35. The display priority of the first part P31-2 (S) and the second part P31-1 on the front surface (here, the second part P31-1 is the front surface) may be reproduced. That is, the parts P32-2 to P35-2 corresponding to the first part P31-2 created by duplication are displayed on the back of the parts P32-1 to P35-1 corresponding to the second part P31-1. Created to be

  In the present embodiment described above, the program causes the display unit 5 to display a creation screen 50 for creating a plurality of label images L21 to L25 that are respectively printed on a plurality of labels having substantially the same size. In a state where at least one part P21-2 constituting any one of the plurality of label images L21 to L25 is selected, a plurality of label images L21 to L21 are received by receiving a copy setting from the user. The computer (label image creation apparatus 1) realizes the function (step S7) of duplicating a part at the corresponding coordinate position of at least one other label image L22 to L25 of L25.

  Thereby, since the user can duplicate the part P21-2 of the label image L21 to the corresponding coordinate positions of the other label images L22 to L25 by performing the duplication setting, the plurality of label images L21 to L21 can be easily performed. The creation operation of L25 can be performed. Further, since the user can perform an operation while viewing the label image creation screen 50, the user can perform the creation operation while recognizing how the label images L21 to L25 are created.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily perform a creation operation while recognizing how the user creates a plurality of label images L21 to L25 each printed on a label.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, in the function which duplicates part P21-2, in the coordinate position corresponding to label image L22-L25 which does not have a part corresponding to part P21-2 (S) selected by the user, The selected part P21-2 (S) is duplicated (steps S6 and S7). Thereby, the user can perform the creation operation of the plurality of label images L21 to L25 more easily.

  In the present embodiment, in the above-described function of copying the selected part P31-2 (S), the first label image L31 common to the first part that is the selected part P31-2 (S). Corresponding to the first part P31-2 in the second label images L32 to L35 having the parts P32-1, P33-1, P34-1, and P35-1 corresponding to the second part P31-1 For the second label images L32 to L35 that do not have the parts to be used, the first part P31-2 and the second part P31-1 are located at the corresponding coordinate positions of the second label images L32 to L35. The first part P31 is reproduced so that the display priority order on the front side is reproduced among the parts P32-1, P33-1, P34-1, and P35-1 corresponding to the second part P31-1. -2 To replicate the S). Therefore, the user can more easily perform the creation operation of the plurality of label images L31 to L35.

  In the present embodiment, the program further causes the computer to realize a function (steps S1, S4, and S5) of copying the label image L11 when a copy setting is received in a state where no part is selected by the user. Thus, the label image L11, not the part, can be duplicated by performing the same duplication setting operation (for example, pressing the duplication icon 53a) as in the case of duplicating the part with no part selected. Therefore, the user can more easily perform the creation operation of the plurality of label images L11 to L15.

  In the present embodiment, when the program accepts the setting of the number of copies of the label image L11 from the user, the number of label images L11 displayed on the creation screen (label image creation screen 50) is the number of copies. In the above-described function of copying the label image L11 by further realizing a function for determining whether the label has been reached (step S3), it is determined that the number of label images L11 displayed on the label image creation screen 50 has not reached the number of copies. When it is done, it is copied to the insufficient number of label images L12 to L15 (steps S4 and S5). As a result, when a plurality of label images are already displayed on the label image creation screen 50, a required number of label images can be created, so that the user can perform a creation operation of the plurality of label images L11 to L15. This can be done even more easily.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention includes the invention described in the claim, and its equivalent range. The invention described in the scope of claims at the beginning of the filing of the present application will be appended.
