Abstract
A printing device includes: a printing mechanism; a housing having a casing and a cover; a first frame member; a second frame member; an engaging member; and an abutting part. The first frame member supports the printing mechanism. The second frame member supports the printing medium. The second frame member is juxtaposed with the first frame member in a first direction. The engaging member is supported to the first frame member. The engaging member is movable between a first position in engagement with the cover and a second position out of engagement with the cover. The abutting part is provided at at least one of the first frame member and the second frame member. The abutting part avoids direct contact between the engaging member in the first position and the second frame member when the second frame member is deformed and contacts the first frame member through the abutting part.
