A printing apparatus includes a printing unit which performs printing on a printing medium with a printing material, a first printing control unit which controls the printing unit to print, on a first side of the printing medium, an adjustment process pattern for an adjustment process for adjusting a position in which the printing material is printed, a second printing control unit which controls the printing unit to print the adjustment process pattern on a second side, which is a back side of the first side, after printing of the adjustment process pattern on the first side is completed, and a notification unit which executes a notification process for notifying information on execution of the adjustment process and identification information for suppressing a user from removing the printing medium with the adjustment process pattern printed on the first side.

An editor controls a display of an edit screen for editing a print content to a tape to prepare a label having an object printed on the tape and a light transmission at least in a part of the label. A controller of the editor displays a label frame indicative of an outer shape of the label on the edit screen, designates a color of a substrate on which the label is arranged, displays an area in the label frame corresponding to a first part having a light transmission of the label with a color of the substrate designated in the substrate color designating processing, and displays the object in the area.

A method for printing on an article can include positioning an article and a fiducial within a field of view of an image sensor. The method can also include generating an image of the article and the fiducial, using the fiducial to determine a print location on the article, and printing a graphic on the article at the print location. A method for printing on an article additionally or alternatively can include transforming a graphic using a shape model to produce a transformed graphic and printing the transformed graphic on the article. A method for printing on an article additionally or alternatively can include retrieving a shape model corresponding to a reference article, obtaining a configuration file corresponding to the article, transforming a graphic based on the shape model and the configuration file to produce a transformed graphic, and printing the transformed graphic on the article.

An upper supply tray is mounted at an upper mount position in a housing. A lower supply tray is mounted at a lower mount position lower than the upper mount position in the housing. A first print engine records an image on a sheet conveyed from the upper supply tray. A second print engine records an image on a sheet conveyed from the lower supply tray. A lower discharge tray supports the sheet on which the image is recorded by the first print engine. An upper discharge tray supports the sheet on which the image is recorded by the second print engine. The upper discharge tray is located at a higher position than the lower discharge tray. A first display displays at least: a first correspondence between the lower discharge tray and the upper supply tray; or a second correspondence between the upper discharge tray and the lower supply tray.
