A printing apparatus includes a support member having a bearing portion, and includes a locking member including a shaft portion fitted to the bearing portion and a biasing member arranged to bias the support member and the locking member in a first direction. The support member supports a printing member that prints on a printing medium. The locking member is pivotally mounted to the support member. The shaft portion is a pivot center. The locking member fixedly holds the printing member relative to the support member. The first direction forms an angle from 0 degree to smaller than 45 degrees relative to an upper surface of the printing member in a first state in which the printing member is fixedly held relative to the support member by the locking member. Movement of the shaft portion fitted to the bearing portion in the first direction is restricted by the biasing member.

A top cover moves between a first position where the top cover is opened with respect to a lower cover and a second position where the top cover is closed with respect to the lower cover. A label peel-off unit moves between a third position where the label peel-off unit is opened with respect to the lower cover and a fourth position where the label peel-off unit is closed with respect to the lower cover. A lock portion engages with an operable engagement claw provided on the top cover and an engagement claw housed in the lower cover to prevent the top cover from moving from the second position. A protruding portion is a part of an exterior member of the label peel-off unit, protrudes upstream in a label conveying direction, abuts against the engagement claw, and causes the label peel-off unit to move from the fourth position to the third position by the engagement claw.

Unattended reservoir refillings

A method for filling a reservoir of a printing device that includes conducting an unattended refill process of an internal reservoir in response to a detection of a fluid supply unit. In an example, the supply dock fluidically, electrically, and mechanically couples to the fluid supply unit to the printing device.

Printing apparatus and liquid storage member

The printing apparatus of the present invention includes: a print head; and a liquid storage container in which a liquid storage chamber that stores a liquid to be supplied to the print head, an atmosphere communication chamber that communicates with the atmosphere, and a communication flow path that causes the liquid storage chamber and the atmosphere communication chamber to communicate are formed integrally. The liquid storage container can take a first posture in which the atmosphere communication chamber is located under the liquid storage chamber in the direction of gravity and a second posture in which the atmosphere communication chamber and the liquid storage chamber are located side by side in the horizontal direction. In the case where the liquid storage container is in the second posture, the liquid injection portion and the communication flow path are located on the upper side of the liquid storage container.
