    摘要: A cassette case includes a bottom case and a top case. A tape is housed in the cassette case. A tape discharge portion discharges, from the cassette case, the tape that has been guided in the cassette case along a predetermined feed path. A first indicator portion indicates a type of the tape. A second indicator portion indicates a type of the tape, which is different from that indicated by the first indicator portion. An indicator member is a member independent from the top case and the bottom case, and is provided with the second indicator portion. An attachment portion is provided on the cassette case. The indicator member is removably attached to the attachment portion.

    摘要: A unit attaching structure configured to attach a unit to an attachment part of a printing device. The attachment part has a bottom wall and a side wall intersecting with the bottom wall. When the unit starts contacting a pressing plate, the unit contacts a contacting part which is a part of a particular end part of the pressing plate on a side opposite to the bottom wall and shifted in the third direction with respect to a position of center of load of gravity of the urging member to the pressing plate. The unit moves with contacting the pressing plate and is attached to the attachment part after contacting the contacting part. A contacting range, in the third direction, of the unit and the contacting part is smaller than a contacting range, in the third direction, of the unit attached to the attachment part and the pressing part.

    摘要: The present invention provides an inexpensive and compact printing apparatus. The printing apparatus includes a sheet feeding mechanism configured to convey a sheet in an orthogonal direction to a loading direction of a cassette, and moves between a press-contacting position and a retraction position, an urging member configured to urge the cassette in a drawing-out direction, a locking member configured to abut against the cassette at a locking position opposed to the urging member, to regulate a movement of the cassette, and to enable draw-out of the cassette at a release position, and an interlocking member configured to regulate the movement of the locking member when the sheet feeding mechanism is located at the press-contacting position, and to release the regulation of the movement of the locking member when the sheet feeding mechanism is located at the retraction position.
