Apparatus, method and program for producing small prints

The invention provides an apparatus, method, and program for producing small prints, in which function of using an input character string for transfer at different timing is further strengthened to improve usability of the user. In the invention, already produced input data includes information on the input character string already transferred to a print medium. Pieces of already produced input data are stored so that the number of pieces of already produced input data is not more than the upper limit number. In a series of processes starting from a direction for producing the print medium, the storage of the already produced input data is performed in the case of the first transfer for the input character string which is currently transferred. Call of the already produced input data is performed according to the user's selection from the pieces of stored already produced input data, and the character string concerning the called already produced input data is returned to the input character string to which input edit can be performed.
