ABSTRACT:
A printing device, which is capable of printing image onto a tape-type recording medium along the longitudinal direction of the tape-type recording medium, is also capable of printing the image on the tape-type recording medium in a rotated fashion with respect to the longitudinal direction of the tape-type recording medium. When the image is printed with a certain rotation, it is discriminated whether a length of the image to be printed in the rotated fashion in the width direction of the tape-type recording medium is smaller than the width of the tape-type recording medium. Then the size of the image to be printed is reduced if the length of the image is greater than or equal to the width of the tape-type recording medium. It is further discriminated whether the length, in the width direction of the tape-type recording medium, of the image to be printed after reduced by the reducing means is smaller than the width of the tape-type recording medium; and alarm is actuated if the length of the reduced image is still greater than or equal to the width of the tape-type recording medium.
