ABSTRACT:
In a tape printer which prints text data including characters/symbols on a tape, there is a fixed distance between a position where a thermal head is provided and a position where a cutter cuts a printed tape portion. For first text data to be printed, a margin is set and then the data is printed on the tape. Thereafter, the next text data is input with a margin being set and printed on the tape. When the printing of the first text data ends, the operation of the printer stops. When the printing is continued after the next data is input with a margin being set, the tape is conveyed by a length equal to the sum of the margins and set for the respective first and second text data and the input next data is printed. When the boundary between the margins arrives at the position of the cutter during the printing of the next text data, the printing of the next text data is interrupted and a tape portion on which the previous text data has been printed is cut by the cutter from the remaining tape. Thereafter, the printing of the next text data restarts.
