Abstract
A printing device includes a housing, a print head, a platen roller, a holder, and a cover. The housing has a cassette attaching opening through which a printing cassette accommodating a printing tape is attachable to the housing. The holder holds one of the print head and the platen roller. The holder is movable between a nip position in which the print head and the platen roller nip the printing tape and a non-nip position in which the print head and the platen roller do not nip the printing tape. The cover is attachable to the housing. The cover is movable between a covering position to cover at least part of the cassette attaching opening and an engaged position to engage with the housing. The holder moves from the non-nip position to the nip position in conjunction with movement of the cover from the covering position to the engaged position.
