Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a printer including: a feed roller configured to feed a print medium; a print head configured to pinch the print medium with the feed roller and to print on the print medium; and a biasing member configured to bias the print head in a first direction toward the feed roller. The print head is movable in the first direction between a first position and a second position. The first position is a position at which the print head can be removed when moved in a second direction. The second position being a position at which the print head cannot be removed when moved in the second direction.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a printer in which peeling issuing and continuous issuing can be switched. Peeling issuing allows a label to be issued after being peeled from a liner of a print medium with the label releasably attached on the liner. Continuous issuing allows the label to be issued without being peeled from the liner. The printer includes: a feed roller configured to feed the print medium; a print head configured to pinch the print medium with the feed roller and to print information on the label; and a peeling unit configured to hold a peeling roller that faces the feed roller in peeling issuing. The peeling unit is movable between a closed position and an open position, the closed position being a position at which the peeling unit at least partly covers the print head, the open position being a position at which the peeling unit does not cover the print head. When the peeling unit is at the open position, space for allowing mounting and removing the print head is formed.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a thermal head including: a heat dissipation plate having a first surface of a substantially rectangular shape in a plane view, and a second surface that is on an opposite side to the first surface; a board attached to the heat dissipation plat in such a manner as to extend from the first surface to the second surface, via a first end part interposed between the first surface and the second surface; a heating part having a plurality of heating elements, the heating part being disposed on the board over the first surface; and surface-mount devices mounted on the board over the second surface.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a printer including: a body case; a printer cover configured to be openable and closable relative to the body case about a rotary shaft; a platen roller that is rotatably attached the printer cover; a print head configured to pinch a print medium with the platen roller when the printer cover is closed and perform printing on the print medium; a first connector disposed at a first position of the body case; a second connector disposed at the printer cover such that the second connector is connected to the first connector when the printer cover is closed; and a platen retaining part disposed at the body case and configured to rotatably retain a first portion of the platen roller at a second position of the body case when the printer cover is closed, the first position being in the vicinity of the second position.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a printer in which peeling issuing and continuous issuing can be switched. Peeling issuing allows a label to be issued after being peeled from a liner of a print medium with the label releasably attached on the liner. Continuous issuing allows the label to be issued without being peeled from the liner. The printer includes a feed roller configured to feed the print medium and also includes a peeling unit including a peeling roller holder and a peeling roller cover. The peeling roller holder holds a peeling roller that faces the feed roller in peeling issuing. The peeling roller cover axially supports the peeling roller holder in a swingable manner and is movable between a closed position and an open position.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a printer including: a body case; a platen roller configured to feed a print medium; and a printer cover being swingable relative to the body case and having an outer printer cover and an inner printer cover that are disposed to overlap each other. The inner printer cover is detachably attached to the outer printer cover, and is swingable relative to the body case, independently of the outer printer cover, when the inner printer cover is detached from the outer printer cover. The outer printer cover includes: a first holder configured to detachably hold both ends of a platen shaft of the platen roller when the inner printer cover is detached; and a second holder configured to detachably hold the platen roller when the inner printer cover is detached.

Abstract: A printer includes a thermal head, an electrical connector capable of being connected to and disconnected from the thermal head, and a head cover of the thermal head. The head cover moves between a first position and a second position different from the first position to connect and disconnect the thermal head and the electrical connector.

Abstract: A printer includes a housing, a printer cover configured to rotate between a closed position at which the printer cover closes an interior of the housing and an open position at which the printer cover opens the interior of the housing, a platen roller configured to feed print medium, a thermal head opposed to the platen roller when the printer cover is located at the closed position, and an operation member configured to connect and disconnect the thermal head, the operation member guides the print medium fed by the platen roller when the printer cover is located at the closed position.

Abstract: A printer includes a thermal head, a connecting part capable of being connected to and disconnected from the thermal head, and a head cover of the thermal head. The head cover moves between a first position and a second position different from the first position to connect and disconnect the thermal head and the connecting part.

Abstract: A printer a housing, a printer cover that is rotatable relative to the housing about a first rotary axis, a thermal head configured to print on print medium, a connecting part capable of being connected to and disconnected from the thermal head, and a head cover that is rotatable about a second rotary axis being parallel to the first rotary axis, the head cover pivotally supported at the printer cover, the head cover rotating between a first position at which the head cover closes the connecting part and a second position at which the head cover does not close the connecting part to connect and disconnect the thermal head and the connecting part. The space is defined between the head cover located at the second position and the printer cover. The connecting part is exposed through the space.
