When a desired plurality of document data are selected from a recorded plurality of document data and read into a text memory, the selected plurality of document data are combined into a document data string, and cut instruction data (C) is added between any two adjacent document data. Printing lengths (D1,D2,...,Dn) of a tape (30) are calculated for the respective document data sectioned by the cut instruction data (C), so that positions (C0,C1,C2,...,Cn) where the tape (30) is cut are calculated and then stored in a cut position memory. In connection with printing of the document string developed into a print data memory from the text memory, a cut instruction signal is output and the tape is cut each time the number of motor driving steps for tape carriage matches a respective one of the cut positions (C0,C1,C2,...,Cn). <IMAGE> |
