A cutting device includes: a cutter blade movable between a retracted position and a cutting position; a cutter cradle facing the cutter blade; and a first lever and a second lever those operated by a user. The cutter blade performs one of a half-cutting operation and a full-cutting operation with respect to a cut target when positioned at the cutting position. The cutter cradle is movable between: a full-cutting position where the full-cutting operation is performed by the cutter blade; and a half-cutting position where the half-cutting operation is performed by the cutter blade. When the first lever is operated, the cutter blade is moved to the cutting position while the cutter cradle remains at the half-cutting position. When the second lever is operated, the cutter blade is moved to the cutting position and the cutter cradle is moved between the full-cutting position and the half-cutting position.

Provided is a tape cutter including a full-receiving portion, a full-movable portion that comes into contact with or separates from the full-receiving portion, a full-pressing portion that presses the full-movable portion, and a full second lever portion to which the full-pressing portion is fixed. The full-pressing portion has a full first pressing portion that presses a full first pressing target portion of the full-movable portion toward the full-receiving portion so that the full-movable portion approaches the full-receiving portion, and a full second pressing portion that engages with a full second pressing target portion of the full-movable portion and pulls the full second pressing target portion toward a side opposite to the full-receiving portion so that the full-movable portion separates from the full-receiving portion, and the full first pressing portion and the full second pressing portion are overlapping with the full second lever portion in a feed direction of the tape.

A housing is provided with a sheet ejection port for discharging sheet that passed through a printing unit upward. A cutting unit is arranged between the printing unit and the sheet ejection port and cuts the sheet by either a method of cutting the sheet in the entire width direction or a method of leaving the central portion of the sheet in the width direction. First protrusions and second protrusions protruding from the inner periphery of the sheet ejection port are provided at a plurality of locations along the width direction of the sheet. The first protrusion faces a first surface of the sheet and the second protrusion faces a second surface, which is the back surface of the first surface of the sheet. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are provided at positions deviated from each other in the sheet width direction and bend the sheet in an undulating shape in the width direction therebetween. Further, protrusion height of at least one of the first protrusions and the second protrusions in the central portion in the width direction of the sheet is lower than protrusion heights of the first protrusions and the second protrusions in other regions.

A cutting device includes: a cutter blade movable between a retracted position and a cutting position; a cutter cradle facing the cutter blade; and a first lever and a second lever those operated by a user. The cutter blade performs one of a half-cutting operation and a full-cutting operation with respect to a cut target when positioned at the cutting position. The cutter cradle is movable between: a full-cutting position where the full-cutting operation is performed by the cutter blade; and a half-cutting position where the half-cutting operation is performed by the cutter blade. When the first lever is operated, the cutter blade is moved to the cutting position while the cutter cradle remains at the half-cutting position. When the second lever is operated, the cutter blade is moved to the cutting position and the cutter cradle is moved between the full-cutting position and the half-cutting position.

A printing device includes a roll paper holder configured to accommodate a first roll paper and a second roll paper and having first and second side walls configured to contact side surfaces of the first roll paper, a remaining amount detecting section having a first projection projecting from the first side wall to detect a remaining amount of the first roll paper accommodated in the roll paper holder, a roll paper guide configured to be installed in the roll paper holder and having a third side wall configured to contact a side surface of the second roll paper when the second roll paper is accommodated in the roll paper holder, and a detection assistance section provided on the roll paper guide and having a second projection projecting from the third side wall in a state of being in contact with the first projection.

A cutter apparatus is provided that includes a fixed blade and a movable blade positioned facing the fixed blade, and that is configured to cut a medium transported between the fixed blade and the movable blade. The movable blade includes: a guide portion that is driven to reciprocate between a standby position at a distance from the medium and a cutting position, where the movable blade intermeshes with the fixed blade, protrudes further toward the movable blade than a cutting edge of the fixed blade when the movable blade is in the standby position, and is pressed by the movable blade to move in a state of being contact with the fixed blade when the movable blade is in the cutting position; and a biasing member configured to bias the guide portion toward the fixed blade.

A half cutter includes a cutting blade having a blade and a holder to which the blade is fixed, a blade receiving member having a blade receiving surface from and with which the blade is separated and comes into contact, and a spacer having at least one of a holder spacer arranged at the holder which is made of a material that is different from a material of the holder, is provided in the holder to protrude toward the blade receiving surface further than the blade, and generates a gap between the blade and the blade receiving surface and a blade receiving spacer arranged at the blade receiving surface which is made of a material different from a material of the blade receiving member, is provided to protrude from the blade receiving surface, and generates a gap between the blade and the blade receiving surface.

A half cutter includes a blade, a blade holder to which the blade is fixed, and a blade receiving member which the blade approaches to or departs from. The blade holder has a pressure receiving portion that receives a pressing force which presses the blade holder against the blade receiving member, and a transmission section that transmits the pressing force received by the pressure receiving portion to both end portions of the blade in an extending direction of a blade edge of the blade.

In a print device, the conveyance member conveys a tape on which printing is performed. The tape has a base material and a release material bonded together. The tape includes a print portion on which an image is printed by the head. The printed tape is used to create a printed matter. The half cutter performs a half cut to cut through the release material without cutting through the base material. The full cutter performs a full cut to cut through the tape conveyed by the conveyance member. The controller controls the half cut so that the half cutter cuts through the release material at a position downstream side of a most downstream end of the print portion of the printed tape, which is conveyed by the conveyance member and is printed by the head, in a conveying direction of the tape.

A printing apparatus includes a printing unit that performs printing on a print medium with a sheet shape, a medium feeding unit and a medium winding unit that conveys the print medium in a predetermined conveyance direction, a controller that controls the printing unit, the medium feeding unit, and the medium winding unit, and a shaft that winds the printed print medium. The controller includes a cutting position determination unit that determines a cutting position to cut and separate the print medium in the width direction upstream by a predetermined length from the end of the image of the first print surface in the conveyance direction, and the cutting position determination unit determines the cutting position so as to cut upstream from the end with an increase in the circumferential length of the print medium wound around the shaft.
