Abstract: A printer includes: a print head; a support frame elongated in a first direction and supporting the print head; a discharge slot for discharging a medium after printing is performed on the medium; and a cover member covering the print head and the support frame. The discharge slot and the cover member are both elongated in the first direction. The cover member includes a surrounding part and a first engagement portion. The surrounding part surrounds an entirety of the discharge slot and has a peripheral portion extending in the first direction and constituting a part of the discharge slot. The first engagement portion is in engagement with a frame engagement portion of the support frame.

Abstract: A reliable semiconductor module and a reliable power conversion device using the semiconductor module are obtained. A semiconductor module includes a heat dissipation member, a semiconductor device, and a thermally conductive insulating resin sheet. The thermally conductive insulating resin sheet connects the heat dissipation member and the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element and a metal wiring member. The metal wiring member is electrically connected to the semiconductor element. The metal wiring member includes a terminal portion protruding outside the semiconductor device. In a surface portion of the semiconductor device, a concave portion is formed outward of a partial region to which the thermally conductive insulating resin sheet is connected. The concave portion is located in a region closer to the heat dissipation member than the terminal portion.
