Abstract: A printing apparatus includes, in a printing apparatus main body, a cover configured to open and close a housing portion configured to house a recording medium, and a first support shaft and a second support shaft configured to rotatably support the cover. The first support shaft is disposed in a position closer to the printing unit than to the housing portion, and the second support shaft is disposed in a position farther from the printing unit than from the housing portion. The cover is configured such that, when displaced from a closed position in a first direction, the cover is rotationally movable around the first support shaft up to a first open position, and that, when the cover is displaced from the closed position in a second direction, the cover is rotationally movable around the second support shaft up to a second open position.

Abstract: While a cover moves to a closed position, a second engagement portion contacts a first engagement portion to displace the first engagement portion, and thus a guide portion moves to a guide position. While the cover moves from the closed position to a first open position, the second engagement portion and the first engagement portion are separated, and the guide portion moves from the guide position to an open position.

Abstract: With a cover in a closed position, a first internal gear and a first spur gear do not mesh with each other, and a second internal gear and a second spur gear do not mesh with each other. When the cover rotates by a predetermined angle around a first support shaft from the closed position, the first internal gear and the first spur gear start to mesh with each other. When the cover rotates by a predetermined angle around a second support shaft from the closed position, the second internal gear and the second spur gear start to mesh with each other.

Abstract: Provided is a printer that prints on continuous print media, and can assure good print quality without troubling the user when the printer is used in conjunction with an optional device that affects recording medium conveyance. The printer conveys and prints on a continuous print medium, is used with an optional device having a configuration that holds part of the print medium, and includes a print mechanism that prints on the print medium; a conveyance mechanism that conveys the print medium; and a controller that controls the print mechanism and conveyance mechanism. The controller detects the optional device that is used, and based on the detection result, determines the control content of at least the print mechanism or the conveyance mechanism.

Abstract: A sheet guide device has a crumpling prevention unit disposed to a movable part with a guide surface that guides a side edge of die-cut label paper conveyed over the top of a feed plate, and prevents crumpling the side portion of the die-cut label paper of which the side edge contacts the guide surface. The crumpling prevention unit includes a pressure-bearing base unit disposed protruding from the top of the feed plate and causing the side portion of the passing die-cut label paper to rise to the side; a sheet presser part that presses the die-cut label paper to the conveyance path surface at the same or adjacent position to the pressure-bearing base unit; and a side presser member that the side edge of the die-cut label paper inclined by the pressure-bearing base unit contacts.

Abstract: An inkjet printer is provided with a printer front where a paper exit of the printer opens, the printer also having a roll paper replacement opening disposed below the paper exit on a vertical axis, an ink cartridge replacement opening disposed on one side of the roll paper replacement opening on a transverse axis, and a waste ink tank replacement opening disposed on another side of the roll paper replacement opening on the transverse axis.

Abstract: A sheet pressing device enables reliably pivoting a presser lever that presses a sheet material to a feed path surface to a pressure position and a released position. The sheet pressing device has a movable-side presser lever configured to pivot between a pressure position where die-cut label paper conveyed over the feed path surface is pressed by a sheet presser part to a flat surface, and a released position where the sheet presser part is separated from the die-cut label paper; and a lever spring respectively urges the movable-side presser lever to the pressure position or the released position from a neutral point between the pressure position and the released position.
