TAPE CASSETTE AND TAPE PRINTER

摘要

When a CPU (81) determines that a type 1 print tape (531) on which printing is to be made is contained in a tape cassette (21), the CPU causes a virtual tape (201) to be displayed, the virtual tape (201) having a length obtained by subtracting a length (l1+l2), which is the length from an antenna (33) to a thermal head (9), from a data value of an "interval length L of an IC chip." A "tape width" is displayed on the right side of the virtual tape (201), and the length of the virtual tape (201) is displayed below the tape width. Furthermore, a "tape type" is displayed below the tape length. The CPU (81) causes a printing area (202) to be displayed on the virtual tape (201) based on a data value of a "printing range," and the right side part of the printing range is a non-printing area. The CPU (81) causes printing data that is inputted to the printing area (202) to be displayed, and waits for a return key (4) to be pressed.
