A printer has a print unit, a printer communicator, printer storage, and a printer controller. The controller controls the printer communicator to receive a print command that includes character data and a font command. The controller acquires font data for characters specified by the character data based on font data and relational information stored by the printer storage 21. The controller generates print data by applying a specific process related to the font type and controls the print unit based on the generated print data to print on a print medium.

In some examples, a component for a printing device includes a memory device comprising a plurality of corrective data to produce a corresponding plurality of color tables each customized for a respective media type of a plurality of media types, wherein a respective corrective data of the plurality of corrective data corresponds to nodes of a reference color table for the printing device that is able to accept the plurality of media types for printing. The respective corrective data includes a plurality of residual values to transform the nodes of the reference color table to a customized color table for use with a selected media type of the plurality of media types.

In some examples, a supply component for a printing device includes a memory device comprising a plurality of corrective data to produce a corresponding plurality of color tables each customized for a respective media type of a plurality of media types, wherein a respective corrective data of the plurality of corrective data corresponds to nodes of a reference color table for the printing device that is able to accept the plurality of media types for printing. The respective corrective data includes a plurality of residual values to transform the nodes of the reference color table to a customized color table for use with a selected media type of the plurality of media types.

In some examples, a supply component for a printing device includes a memory device comprising corrective data to produce a customized color table for a first color gamut, wherein the corrective data corresponds to nodes of a reference color table for the printing device that is able to employ a plurality of color gamuts for printing. The corrective data comprises a plurality of residual values to transform the nodes of the reference color table to the customized color table. The corrective data is accessible by the printing device to transform the reference color table to the customized color table used for printing to a media using the first color gamut.

In some examples, a fuser for a printing device includes a memory device comprising corrective data corresponding to a reference color table for the printing device that is able to operate in a plurality of different modes, the corrective data comprising quantized coefficients derived from a compression of a difference color table including a plurality of difference nodes in which each difference node represents a value that is to be combined with a corresponding node of the reference color table, the quantized coefficients useable to produce a reconstructed difference table/ The corrective data including residue values to combine with the reconstructed difference table to produce a customized color table for a selected mode of the plurality of different modes.

A tape printing apparatus includes an input unit for performing editing, a temporary storage unit configured to temporarily store editing information being edited by the tape printing apparatus, and an editing-information transmitting unit configured to transmit the editing information to a portable terminal when a first operation button included in the input unit is operated in a state in which the editing information is stored in the temporary storage unit.

A printer has a printing mechanism for printing on roll paper; RAM storing font data for multiple languages having at least some character codes in common, and the starting address of the font data for each of the multiple languages; a communicator that receives a command specifying starting addresses and character codes; and a controller that reads font data corresponding to the character codes received by the communicator from RAM based on the starting address specified by the command, and controlling the printing mechanism to print based on the read font data.

A printing apparatus to print a character in conjunction with a tape cassette is provided. The tape cassette includes a tape and a first memory device to store character data. The printing apparatus includes an attachable section, a second memory device, a controller, and a printer. The controller reads specific character data that satisfies a predetermined condition from the first memory device in the tape cassette, stores the specific character data in the second memory device as in-apparatus stored data, and appoints print-object data being the character data corresponding to an object character, which is the character appointed as a print object, from the in-apparatus stored data in the second memory device. The printer prints the object character on the tape in the tape cassette based on the appointed print-object data.
