[Preface]
The first machine I touched was a machine called TK80BS, which had a clock of 2MHz, a memory capacity of 8K bytes, and a music cassette tape for storage. Compared to current PCs, the clock speed is about 1/3,000 and the memory capacity is about 1/4 million...... Well, it's not a computer, it's a machine that forcibly builds a one-board microcontroller (w
What can you do with 8KB of memory? …… I think. If you use BASIC or something like that, it eats up memory quickly, but you can do quite a lot of things if you use a different language.
Although the expressiveness of the computer is extremely poor, if the code written to memory is a machine language that the CPU can process directly, the assignment of numbers can be processed in 2 to 3 bytes, and the addition and subtraction can be processed in 1 byte, so a considerable program can be executed with 8KB.
I was moving character-based block breaking and Invaders game Modoki.
At that time, computers cost over 1 million yen for a set, and junior high and high school students couldn't afford them. In the midst of this, a machine that looks like an extension of a program calculator called a pocket computer was released. 14 lines of LCD and 18KB of memory, but for the time being, you can program it.
It was released by Casio and Sharp, which were said to be the two strongest calculator manufacturers, and I bought them by pouring in the New Year's gifts I had saved and the part-time job money I was able to earn when I entered high school. It was a machine that was treated more maniacally than it is now, and there were only two like-minded people in the grade, but if there were two humans, a faction would occur. Each manufacturer is talking about which one is great.
While listening to such arguments, I was a collector, and I got Pokécon from both manufacturers and was writing programs wholeheartedly.
You guys compete not on what the function is, but on what you create.
So, which one was better for you? I was asked in later times, but my answer was "both are good". Especially in the mid-to-late stages, when machine language can be used on PokeCon, the difference in architecture between the two is interesting.
A strange Arch Sharp machine with a high-speed internal RAM inside the CPU, and an Arch Casio machine that looks like a smart and compact 8-bit CPU for a personal computer. The question of which one is better is meaningless. Because both were super interesting.
So, as usual, a long foreshadowing. The point is that I was young when I used Casio machines a lot.
[Nameland suddenly one day]
It was really a day. The sales person invited Mr. Casio to the office through the introduction of Biz.
When I was explaining the functions of Biz and doing an office tour. I was called out to work near the server room. How do you make stickers? And.
Well, as usual, I used Tepla for pour printing...... I explained, but during the chat time after that, we had a lot of fun talking about the aforementioned Pokecon.
As expected, it is the manufacturers. It responds to the model number of the model I am talking about more than 40 years ago. It's not a line from a certain mobile suit rider, but it's a state of "I've never been so happy".
Actually, at home, I use Furu~i Nameland...... If you say that, you will be given the model number.
"Then I'll lend you the latest model, so please try it."
So the work of creating a block manuscript comes down. Well, I'm happy to be able to play with a new machine.

[Master, a girl from the sky! ] 】
No, it's the application that drops. It's called LABEL DESIGN MAKER.
Install the dropped one from here. There are for smartphones and Macs, but this time I clicked the Windows one.
So, I install it, but the method is not much different from other apps. One thing to note is that even if you install it, the app icon will not enter the start menu.
To register for the Start screen, right-click on the shortcut icon on the desktop and click "Pin to Start" from the menu. Once registered, desktop shortcuts can be deleted.
I'm a person who doesn't put app icons on my desktop, so I deleted them without putting them in the trash immediately after installation and got hooked (W
In addition, this does not include a printer driver. It seems that this app acts as a driver.
So, please refer to the precautions for using this app.
When I press Close (the × button in the upper right corner of the window), it doesn't ask me if I want to save the changed label design to the file. I have something in the process of editing, but is it okay to finish? I just ask honestly. But if you answer YES, the design will be destroyed. It's even more clean (w
What do you want to say...... Don't forget to save your files.
[Science Ninjutsu Firebird, Shadow Clone]
Create an alter ego, or rather, the source of the asset seal that you want to alter ego, that is, a template.
By the way, in "Scientific Ninpo Firebird", there is a setting that "when the God Phoenix aircraft is sunk between normal space and subspace, the enormous energy leaking out of it becomes like a flame bird", and Mr. Kosumi's science fiction research is effective in this area.
Digression.
When you start the installed LABEL DESIGN MAKER, the following screen will be displayed. Without hesitation, select [Create freely] → [Create new label].
You will be switched to the layout editor in the usual format, so first check [Label Settings].
The items are as follows.
Label width: Does it match the width of the tape set in the nameland?
Label length: Specify the label length by turning off "Label length automatically"
Label Direction: Horizontal
First of all, the positioning of the QR code.
Extract the data of the equipment to be printed from the registered equipment list on the Biz management screen in CSV format, and copy one of the QR code URLs to the clipboard (the CSV file is closed). Next, click on the "QR code" icon in the layout editor.
The "Create QR Code" dialog will open, paste the URL into the "Data" field. Error correction rate 15%, model 2, cell size set to small and click the "OK" button.
A QR code tip is attached to the cursor, so click where you want to display the QR code on the label. Specify the horizontal position by dragging, and use [Align] → [Align] → [Align top and bottom center] in the middle of the horizontal axis.
Next, add a table to list the equipment information.
When you click the "Table" icon, the "Create Table" dialog will open, so decide on the configuration of the table (this time it will be a 4-row table) and click the "OK" button.
A table full of labels is displayed on top of the QR code, so adjust the width and position of the divider. In addition, the divider has a higher priority for drawing adjustment, so it is easier to position it from there.
However, LABEL DESIGN MAKER's table widget is very convenient because it adjusts the size of the text you fill in according to the width of the column.

Speaking of alter egos that are similar from one body, it is the space ninja Baltan alien (Nanno Hanashidayo).
Data exported from Biz can be inserted into the template to enable continuous printing.
Click the Insert icon in LABEL DESIGN MAKER to open the Edit Merge Data dialog.
Press the "Import" button to open the exported CSV file from the Biz admin screen (don't forget to switch file formats).
One thing to note at this time is that the first line of the CSV should be the line of the item name.
Since this item name is used to specify the merge data, if you delete it, you will not be able to binary or tertiary. The level of confusion is comparable to the situation where the fruit is cut vertically while trying to eat grapefruit.
When you are done importing data, close it with the close button in the upper right corner. Basically, you don't have to play around here.
Go back to the layout editor and click on each item in the table and the value field to be rewritten by merge
I think the property field on the left has been expanded to display a frame called "Character Settings".
At the bottom of the frame is the setting item for insertion printing.
First, click on the switch called "Plug Settings" to turn it on. If the background of the table for the selected layout changes from orange to light blue, the insertion setting is enabled.
In this state, select the item name you want to insert from the "Insert Item" menu.
One more thing to note here. You can select this menu even if "plug-in settings" is turned off. Of course, in that case, insertion printing will not be performed. I got hooked several times.
The same goes for the QR code display field.
When you click on it, a property will be added on the left, so turn on the switch for "Insert Settings" and select the QR code column in "Insert Items".
[Insutansu Aburi Akushoon]
…… The story is too maniac to understand.
Materialize the fixture sticker from the template and inserted data. The point is printing.
Click the button in the upper right corner called "Print & Print Preview" to open the "Print Preview" dialog.
The preview shows the data plugged in, so make sure the item is inserted correctly. QR codes can also be read, so use the Biz app to check them.
As for actual printing, if you are using a model called KL-LE900. You need to be careful.
In addition to the regular Nameland label tape, this model also protects the surface, is resistant to friction, and is environmentally friendly<a href="https://www.casio.com/jp/label-writer/lateco-options/" target="_blank"> a lateco tape</a > can be used. The cartridge shape is so different that you can't print it unless you switch it properly. Please note.
The half-cut function is extremely convenient for printing Casio label printers.
Label tape is a tape with adhesive attached to the backing paper, and it is a mechanism that prints letters and QR codes using the principle of a thermal transfer (thermal sensitivity in the case of lateco) printers. In the case of plug-in printing, most manufacturers spit out a seal that has been cut by the number of printed sheets.
However, in Nameland, it is possible to print in the form of a cut only on the tape and the mount still connected. This is the half-cut function. The cut is also at a right angle, so there is no need to trim and correct it with special scissors later.
Well, if you want to round the corners, you use scissors.

There are many enthusiastic users, and strange factional fights occur in machines with similar functions. Pokecon, Android and iPhone, Widnows and macOS.
The argument is most likely "that (the opponent's) machine or OS is difficult to use."
The reason is simple: you try to use your techniques on the opponent's machine or OS. That's how it is. For example, from an Android user's point of view, the file system that iOS users can see is the height of flexibility, and from an iOS user's point of view, it becomes "Why do users have to manage the details?"
In several articles I have written about label making, I have said, "If you have pour-in printing and QR code generation functions, label printers are similar to any manufacturer," but this time, when I tried using Casio's label printer, I realized that it is not easy to put it into practice even if I know that "switching thinking is important."
(I'm sure some of you have heard my voice saying, "Wow, what is this?"
When it comes to label printers, it's a rare case to have multiple manufacturers in the company and need to use them separately, so it's not something to worry about.
But I still like this label printer. Let's buy one of the best of these.
