Tape Cassette and Tape Printing Apparatus

摘要

A CPU 81 displays a virtual tape 201 of a length obtained by subtracting a length (l 1 +l 2 ) from an antenna 33 to a thermal head 9 from a data value of an "IC chip pitch length L" when it determines that a printing object tape 531 of type 1 is accommodated in a tape cassette 21 . A "tape width" is displayed on the right side of the virtual tape 201 . A tape length of the virtual tape 201 is displayed below it. A "tape type" is displayed below it. Then, the CPU 81 displays a print area 202 on the virtual tape 201 from a data value of the "print area" while a right side portion thereof serves as a non-print area. It displays the print data inputted into the print area 202 and waits for the return key 4 to be pressed.
