Disclosed is a printing device including a main body portion including a body portion configured to provide an internal space in which recording paper for printing certain information thereon is transferred and an opening or closing portion configured to control opening or closing of the internal space, a printing portion configured to print the certain information on the recording paper transferred in the internal space, and a recording paper separation portion located on a downstream side of the printing portion and configured to cut or cut off and separate recording paper on which particular information is printed by the printing portion from the other recording paper. Here, the main body portion includes a protruding portion configured to prevent an adhesive attached to the surface opposite the adhesive surface from being accumulated by decreasing a contact area with the surface opposite the adhesive surface.

A cutting device includes: a cutter blade configured to perform one of a half-cutting operation and a full-cutting operation with respect to a cut target; a cutter holder holding the cutter blade; a cutter cradle movable between a half-cutting position and a full-cutting position; and a cutter lever and a cutter cradle lever those operated by a user. When only the cutter lever is operated by the user, the cutter blade is moved so that the cutter blade and the cutter cradle at the half-cutting position perform the half-cutting operation with respect to the cut target. When both the cutter lever and the cutter cradle lever are operated by the user, the cutter cradle is moved to the full-cutting position and the cutter blade is moved so that the cutter blade and the cutter cradle at the full-cutting position perform the full-cutting operation with respect to the cut target.

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 tape detection mechanism including a first pivoting member provided to pivot about a detection pivoting shaft, a second pivoting member linked, to be configured to pivot, to a pivot linking portion provided on the first pivoting member, a pivoting contact section with which the second pivoting member comes into contact when the first pivoting member and the second pivoting member pivot in a first pivoting direction about the detection pivoting shaft as the tape, which is fed thereto, comes into contact with the first pivoting member, and a sensor which detects the second pivoting member which comes into contact with the pivoting contact section.

An object of the present disclosure is to perform printing such that partition work of an operator is reduced. One embodiment of the present embodiment provides a printing apparatus that prints images on a roll paper based on one or a plurality of jobs, the printing apparatus including: an image forming unit that forms one or a plurality of image sets, each formed of a partition page image and a content image, on the roll paper based on a job in which partition information for inserting a partition page is set; and a control unit that controls image formation by the image forming unit, in which the control unit controls the image formation by the image forming unit based on a remaining amount of the roll paper such that there is no interruption in the middle of the image set.

An adhesive label is provided. The adhesive label includes an adhesive patch that covers at least 50% but less than 85% of a backside surface of the adhesive label and that is at least partially horizontally and vertically centered on the backside surface.

A thermal printer configured to perform printing on a linerless label including an adhesive surface formed on a back surface of the linerless label, the thermal printer comprising a cutter unit that includes: a fixed blade provided on the back surface side of the linerless label; and a movable blade configured to reciprocate between a first position at which the movable blade is opposed to the fixed blade through intermediation of the linerless label, and a second position at which at least a part of the movable blade overlaps the fixed blade and the movable blade forms a cut in the linerless label, wherein the movable blade includes: a first blade edge configured to form the cut in the linerless label; and a groove, which has an edge, and is formed in a sliding surface configured to slide on the fixed blade when the movable blade is at the second position, and wherein the edge includes: an adhesive blocking edge portion formed on the sliding surface along an advancing direction; and an adhesive scraping edge portion formed on the sliding surface so as to cross the advancing direction.

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 printing device includes a transport roller performing a first transport that transports recording paper drawn from roll paper in a transport direction and a second transport that transports the recording paper in a direction opposite to the transport direction, a cutter having a first blade configured to move between an advanced position and a retracted position, and a second blade for cutting the recording paper together with the first blade moving from the retracted position to the advanced position, and a guide member provided downstream of the first blade in the transport direction and guiding the recording paper during the second transport.

A printed matter creating device includes a controller configured to: acquire print data; form a first print on a printing medium while conveying the printing medium, the first print being based on first ON dots in the acquired print data; interrupt the conveyance of the printing medium after forming the first print; cut the printing medium after interrupting the conveyance; and form a second print on the printing medium while conveying the printing medium after cutting the printing medium, the second print being based on second ON dots in the acquired print data. The print data includes a specific print data corresponding to a connecting part connecting the first print and the second print. Based on the acquired print data, the controller adjusts at least one of: aspects of the first ON dots in the specific print data; and aspects of the second ON dots in the specific print data.
