<p>A label printer comprises a frame memory (8) for storing a printing pattern for a label to be printed, and a printer unit (9 -12, MC) for printing a label in accordance with the printing pattern stored in the frame memory (8). The label printer further comprises a control unit (1 - 4) for partitioning the frame memory (8) in accordance with a designated size of the label, thereby providing at least one print buffer, for producing a printing pattern for one label in the printing buffer, and for supplying the printing pattern stored in the print buffer to the printer unit (9 - 12, MC), wherein the control unit includes a modifying section, and, when a plurality of print buffers are provided in the frame memory (8), the modifying section transfers the printing pattern produced in one of the print buffers into a remaining print buffer and modifies the printing pattern stored in the remaining print buffer to produce another printing pattern.</p> |
