Abstract
In a tape printer apparatus, tape cassettes containing tape members of different widths are selectively mounted, and input printing data is printed on the tape member of the mounted tape cassette. The tape cassettes are provided with notches indicating the widths of the contained tape members. The presence or absence of the notch of the mounted cassette case is detected by ON or OFF of switches disposed in a cassette mounting portion of an apparatus case. Based on a result of this detection, the tape width is determined, and a printing matching with the tape width is performed.
