Storage of labels in a printing device

摘要

A printing device for printing labels on a tape (14) has a display (42) and input means (50) for inputting characters to be printed by the printing device. Using the input means, a cursor on the display (42) can be controlled. The printing device has a label memory which comprises a storage portion (104) having a plurality of storage sections. The display is operable to display a plurality of label access elements each of which represents a respective storage section in the storage portion of the memory. The cursor is used to access a selected storage section of the memory associated with the label access element identified by the cursor position. A method of storage label data in a label memory using this principle is also described.
