Abstract

To provide a display device, a printing device and a display program which contribute to a further improvement in convenience of a user, in a case where the user uses a heat-shrinkable tube on which an object to be printed is printed while shrinking the tube in accordance with a shape of a cable.SOLUTION: A control part of a printing device obtains information on a tube-like medium which includes a first length of an outer periphery of the medium which shrunk by being applied with heat in a predetermined range and a maximum heat shrinkage ratio of the medium (S21 and S23). The control part obtains printing-information which includes information on an object to be printed that is printed on the medium and a second length in the longitudinal direction of the medium (S20), and obtains diameter-information on a cable inserted through the medium (S24). When heat-shrinking the medium with the cable inserted through the medium, using the information on the medium, the printing information and the diameter information, the control part makes a display part display a preview image showing the shrunk object to be printed with respect to the shrunk medium (S29 to S31 and S35).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
