Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention is a printer in which peeling issuing and continuous issuing can be switched. Peeling issuing allows a label to be issued after being peeled from a liner of a print medium with the label releasably attached on the liner. Continuous issuing allows the label to be issued without being peeled from the liner. The printer includes a feed roller configured to feed the print medium and also includes a peeling unit including a peeling roller holder and a peeling roller cover. The peeling roller holder holds a peeling roller that faces the feed roller in peeling issuing. The peeling roller cover axially supports the peeling roller holder in a swingable manner and is movable between a closed position and an open position. When the peeling roller cover is at the open position, the peeling roller holder is swingable between a first position for facing a back surface of the peeling roller cover and a second position at which the peeling roller is not covered with the peeling roller cover. The peeling unit further includes a biasing member that biases the peeling roller holder from the first position to the second position.
