Embodiment Construction

[0093] Some embodiments of the present invention may provide a label printer that allows a user to change the display size of a label medium on which printing is performed while maintaining previously entered label data to be printed on the label medium. Some embodiments may provide a label printer in which such a change in the displayed size of the label stock causes a different size label stock to be selected for printing on, while maintaining the print size of the previously entered label data. Some embodiments may provide for such a change in label media display size such that the selection of the label media to be printed on is maintained while simultaneously adjusting the print size of the label data.

[0094] Some embodiments of the present invention may provide a label printer having a display that displays images representing label media and tabs (or titles) associated with a graphical control panel or information panel. Graphical control panels or information panels ...
