Means for Solving the Problems The label printing machine of the present invention includes a first memory capable of storing a plurality of first print contents to be printed, and a second memory capable of storing a plurality of second print contents to be printed. Set up memory,
a first state in which the content stored in the first memory is output to the display screen when a setting instruction is detected; and a second state in which it is detected that any print content being displayed in the first state is designated. a second state in which the content stored in the second memory is stored in the first register and then outputted to the display screen; and a second state in which it is detected that any print content being displayed is specified a third state to be stored in the second register; and a first state after execution of the third state. The first register selected for the label printer based on the contents of the second register. The present invention is characterized in that it includes a control section that can be switched to a fourth state that instructs printing of a label with the second print content.

According to this configuration, various data of the first print content are written in the first memory, and various data of the second print content are written in the second memory. The contents to be printed are as follows. It is set in the second register. Therefore, based on the contents of the first and second registers, the first . The control unit instructs the label printer to print by combining the necessary data in the second memory.

Also, when changing the print content, if you instruct the control unit to "set", the control unit displays the stored content of the first memory on the display screen.If you specify any of the displayed items, the selected content will be displayed on the control unit. The content of the second memory is then displayed on the display.When you specify any of the items on this display, the selected content is written to the second register by the control unit, and after setting When "issue" is instructed, the control section instructs the label printer to print a label based on the contents of the first and second registers.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

Note that the same effect as in FIG. 2 showing the conventional example = 5 The same reference numerals are given to the same parts in the explanation.

FIG. 1 shows a label printing machine according to the invention. The operations of the label printer 3 and the display 5 are controlled by a control section 6. The control unit 6 includes a first memory 7 in which the first print content is written in advance, a second memory 8 in which the second print content is written in advance, and a first memory 8 that stores the print content on the label to be issued. ．． The second registers 9 and 10 are connected to a setting mode instruction switch 11, an input device 12, and an issue mode instruction switch 13.

The address “a” of the first memory 7 has the part name “A-B”.
-C”, address “b” is part name “1B-B-B”
is written. Address “a” of second memory 8
is the destination ZZ
