Abstract:
1. A printer comprising: a feeder configured to feed a print-receiving tape; a printing head configured to produce at least one printed matter wherein a desired print object is respectively formed on said print-receiving tape, along a transport direction of said feeder, by performing printing of said print object on said print-receiving tape fed by said feeder; a print object receiving portion configured to receive 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 generating portion configured to generate 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 of said print object receiving portion; a setting display portion configured to display said setting image generated by said setting image generating portion; a first increment mode receiving portion configured to receive 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 portion configured to respectively generate first printed matter images wherein said print identifier is incremented in accordance with a setup operation received by said first increment mode receiving portion, using a plurality of different types of increment patterns; a first display portion configured to display in list format said first printed matter images using said plurality of types of increment patterns, generated by said first image generating portion; a second increment mode receiving portion configured to receive 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 portion configured to respectively generate second printed matter images wherein said print identifier is incremented in accordance with the setup operation received by said first increment mode receiving portion and for which is used a type of increment pattern received by said second increment mode receiving portion, using a plurality of different types of assignment patterns when the print objects are to be assigned to each printed matter; a second display portion configured to display in list format said second printed matter images using said plurality of types of assignment patterns, generated by said second image generating portion; a third increment mode receiving portion configured to receive 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 portion configured to control 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 by said third increment mode receiving portion.
