Abstract: A printing device includes: an attachment portion to which a cassette accommodating a printing medium is detachably attachable; a conveying portion for conveying the printing medium; a printing portion for printing the printing medium; a cutter portion for cutting the printed printing medium; and a controller. The controller is configured to perform: a conveying process to convey the printing medium from the printing portion to the cutter portion; a cutting process to cut the printed printing medium; an acquisition process to acquire the control information from the cassette; a determination process to determine a reverse conveyance amount of the printing medium based on the control information; and a reverse conveying process to convey a remaining non-printed portion of the printing medium from the cutter portion to the printing portion by the reverse conveyance amount determined in the determination process.

Abstract: A cassette includes a printing tape roll being rotatable and into which a printing tape as a medium to be printed is wound, and an outer peripheral wall disposed on one side in a first direction relative to the printing tape roll. The first direction is a width direction of the printing tape. The outer peripheral wall includes a first side wall extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, a second side wall extending in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and intersecting with the second direction, and a recess wall defining a recess extending from the second side wall toward one side in the second direction. The recess extends in the third direction on one side in the second direction further than the second side wall. At least a portion of the recess overlaps the printing tape roll in the first direction.

Abstract: A cassette includes: a case including a first layer and a second layer and having a head space at the first layer; and a roll disposed at the second layer and into which a medium to be printed is wound about a rotation axis in a winding direction. The medium to be printed includes a to-be-printed layer and a release layer, and is disposed at the case such that the to-be-printed layer is on an inner side thereof and the release layer is on an outer side thereof in the winding direction. The case has a conveyance path for conveying the medium to be printed. The conveyance path is defined such that the medium to be printed is conveyed in the winding direction from the roll to the head space through an opening defined at a boundary between the first layer and the second layer in the case.

Abstract: A fixing device is for fixing a developing agent image to a recording sheet by electrostatically spraying a charged fixing solution toward the developing agent image on the sheet. The fixing device includes a container portion, a plurality of nozzles, and a potential difference generating portion. The container portion is configured to store therein the fixing solution. The plurality of nozzles is in communication with the container portion and configured to spray the fixing solution toward the developing agent image. The potential difference generating portion is configured to generate a potential difference between the fixing solution stored in the plurality of nozzles and the recording sheet conveyed at a position separated from the plurality of nozzles.
