PRINT DATA GENERATION APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A print data generation apparatus generating print data to print texts on a print medium by a printing device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory configured to store a database having a plurality of records in which texts are respectively set for fields, template data which is associated with one of operation keys for receiving an operation from a user and in which at least arrangement positions of the texts to be printed on the print medium are set, link information associating arrangement positions in the template data with the fields of the database, and computer-readable instructions that instruct the processor to execute steps comprising;
detecting operation of the operation keys by the user;
selecting, from among the plurality of records of the database, the record to be used for printing; and
generating, when it is detected that one of the operation keys has been operated by the user, print data such that the texts that are respectively set for the fields of the selected record are arranged in the arrangement positions that are associated with the fields by the link information, by using the template data corresponding to the operated operation key in accordance with the link information.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that instruct a print data generation apparatus which generates print data to print texts by a printing device on a print medium, to execute steps comprising:
-
detecting operation of operation keys by a user; selecting, from among a plurality of records of a database, the record to be used for printing; and generating, when it is detected that one of the operation keys has been operated by the user, print data such that texts that are respectively set for fields of the selected record are arranged in arrangement positions that are associated with the fields by link information, by using template data corresponding to the operated operation key in accordance with the link information, the database having the plurality of records in which the texts are respectively set for the fields, the template data being associated with one of the operation keys for receiving an operation from the user and being configured such that at least the arrangement positions of the texts to be printed on the print medium are set, and the link information associating the arrangement positions in the template data with the fields of the database.
