Label creating device and program for controlling feeding of print medium

摘要

A label creation device includes a feeding portion configured to feed a printing medium in a first direction and a second direction, the second direction being an opposite direction from the first direction, a printing portion configured to perform printing on the printing medium fed in the first direction, a cutting portion configured to cut the printing medium, the printed portion being a portion of the printing medium on which the printing has been performed, and a processor configured to specify a first distance, which is a length of a blank portion, the cut position being a position of the printing medium where the printing medium is cut, and control the feeding portion to feed the printing medium in the second direction in a case where a second distance is greater than the first distance, the second distance being a distance between the printing portion and the cutting portion.

主权项

1. A label creation device comprising:
a feeding portion that is configured to feed a printing medium in a first direction and a second direction, the second direction being an opposite direction from the first direction; a printing portion that is configured to perform printing on the printing medium fed in the first direction by the feeding portion; a cutting portion that is provided downstream in the first direction from the printing portion and that is configured to cut the printing medium in order to create a label by cutting off a printed portion of the printing medium that is fed by the feeding portion, the printed portion being a portion of the printing medium on which the printing has been performed by the printing portion; and a processor that is configured to specify a first distance, which is a length of a blank portion in the first direction, the blank portion being a portion of the printing medium on which the printing is not performed and that is provided downstream in the second direction from a cut position, the cut position being a position of the printing medium where the printing medium is cut by the cutting portion, determine if a second distance is greater than the specified first distance, the second distance being a distance between the printing portion and the cutting portion; control the feeding portion to feed the printing medium in the second direction by an amount that depends on the second distance before the printing of the label is performed in response to determining that the second distance is greater than the specified first distance and control the feeding portion not to feed the printing medium in the second direction, before printing of the label is performed, in response to determining that the second distance is not greater than the first distance.
