Fixed Form Print Margin Deletion for Label Consistency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing systems for producing print labels using fixed form print information often result in inconsistencies between the intended and actual font margins, leading to differences in the mode of character strings on the printed labels due to the absence of width direction margins on the print label producing apparatus.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a fixed form print information processing program that deletes width direction and longitudinal direction margins from font data on the operation terminal before transferring the print information to the print label producing apparatus, ensuring consistency with the intended format.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If fixed form print information is edited on the operation terminal with fonts that have width direction margins, then the character string display mode on the terminal is improved for visibility and aesthetics, but the printed output on the print label producing apparatus does not match the intended mode due to the apparatus using fonts without width direction margins
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by automatically deleting the width direction margin area from the font data before the print information is transferred to the print label producing apparatus. This preprocessing step ensures that the margin inconsistency problem is resolved in advance, allowing the operator to work with standard fonts on the terminal while the system automatically adjusts the data to match the apparatus's font capabilities, thereby maintaining both display quality and print consistency.
2Illumination intensity
If the operation terminal uses fonts with width direction margins for better visibility, then the operator's viewing experience is improved, but the transferred print information produces incorrect character string modes on the print label producing apparatus
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the application program for producing fixed form print information as an intermediary that automatically processes the font data. This intermediary component deletes the width direction margin area from the font data during the information preparation stage, acting as a bridge between the terminal's display requirements and the apparatus's printing capabilities, thereby resolving the mismatch without affecting the operator's viewing experience.
3Ease of operation
If the system allows operators to edit fixed form print information with standard fonts on the terminal, then ease of editing is improved, but the printed labels do not conform to the operator's intended format
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by automatically detecting and deleting the width direction margin area in the font data during the information preparation process. This automated self-adjustment eliminates the need for operators to manually adjust font settings or understand the technical differences between terminal display fonts and apparatus printing fonts, allowing them to work with standard fonts while the system handles the format conversion automatically.

AI summary
This disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, storing a fixed form print information processing program for executing steps on a control device. The steps comprises a fixed form print producing step for producing fixed form print information, a margin area deleting step for deleting a width direction margin area of the width direction margin area and a longitudinal direction margin area respectively set on each side of both ends in a tape width direction as well as each side of both ends in a tape longitudinal direction of font data corresponding to a character string included in the fixed form print information, a fixed form print displaying step for displaying on the display device the fixed form print information from which the margin area has been deleted, and a fixed form print transferring step for transferring the fixed form print information to the print label producing apparatus.
