Abstract
There is provided a tape cartridge comprising a tape receiving member formed near a tape running path in the tape cartridge for receiving a tape, and a tape pushing member arranged to face the tape receiving member through the tape, the tape pushing member being arranged to move between a tape pinching position in which the tape is pinched between the tape receiving member and the tape pushing member, and a cancellation position in which the tape pushing member moves away from the tape. Accordingly, when the tape pushing member is positioned at the tape pinching position, the tape cartridge can prevent the tape from protruding from the front surface of the tape cartridge.
