Abstract
A tape printing device includes a cartridge mounting portion on which a tape cartridge is mounted, a detection unit that has a first detection member configured to be protruded from and retracted into a first detection opening provided on a bottom surface of the cartridge mounting portion, and detects a type of a printing tape accommodated in the tape cartridge, and a thermal head that performs printing on the printing tape. A portion of the first detection member, exposed from the first detection opening, is located outside the tape accommodating area and is provided at a position on a side of the tape accommodating area different from a side of a first area in a plan view when the tape cartridge is mounted on the cartridge mounting portion.
