摘要： A printer includes: a casing; a grooved part recessed from an outer surface of the casing; a switch unit provided in the grooved part; a controller inside the casing; an FPC connecting the switch unit to the controller; and a hole part formed at a prescribed end portion of a bottom surface of the grooved part. A bottom surface of the switch unit is fixed to the groove bottom surface through the FPC. The hole part is aligned with a center of the groove bottom surface in a prescribed direction. The hole part defines a first inner end and a second inner end opposing each other in the prescribed direction, the first inner end being farther away from the center of the groove bottom surface than the second inner end is in the prescribed direction. The first inner end is positioned outside of the grooved part in the prescribed direction.

摘要： A print device includes a head unit holding a heat sink, a head holding member holding the head unit, a platen roller, a support shaft supporting the head holding member to pivot between a close position and a separated position, an urging member, and an adjustment mechanism including an adjustment shaft and an eccentric cam. The separated position is a position where the print head is separated from the platen roller than the close position. The urging member urges the head unit and applies a pressing load pressing the print head against the platen roller. The eccentric cam rotates around the adjustment shaft and coming into contact with the head holding member in a state of being offset with respect to the adjustment shaft. The adjustment mechanism adjusts a position of heating elements of the heat sink with respect to the platen roller by rotating of the eccentric cam.
