Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0885733A2] The system includes a computer (18) having a data input device for inputting data defining an image to be printed onto a label, a processor, and a storage device. A tape printer (1) is connected to the computer, and receives image data from the computer to print the image onto an image receiving tape (54). A sheet printer (13) is also connected to the computer for receiving image data from the computer and printing it to a sheet with at least one label. The data processor is connected to the storage device, the data input device, the tape printer, and the sheet printer, and is operable to selectively send the image data to either printer, and to receive data from the input device which selects the printer to which the image data is sent.
