Abstract
A printing device includes a printing unit that performs printing on a medium using liquid. A liquid container includes a liquid containing chamber, which is capable of containing the liquid supplied to the printing unit, and a liquid inlet, which allows the liquid containing chamber to be filled with the liquid. A shell accommodates the printing unit and a portion of the liquid container. The liquid container includes a projecting portion that projects out of the shell. A protection member covers the projecting portion. The protection member projects out of the shell in a direction that is the same as a direction in which the liquid container projects out of the shell.
