Abstract
The disclosure discloses a printer comprising: a fixed part and an opening/closing part; a feeding roller configured to feed the print-receiving medium; a print head; a discharging exit configured to discharge the print-receiving medium; a fixed blade fixed to the fixed part so as to follow along an edge part of the discharging exit; a fixed blade cover; and a support device configured to support in a relatively displaceable manner the print head and the fixed blade cover, forming a first state wherein the fixed blade cover covers the blade edge of the fixed blade and the print head separates from the feeding roller when the opening/closing part changes to an open state, and a second state wherein the fixed blade cover does not cover the blade edge of the fixed blade and the print head presses against the feeding roller when the opening/closing part changes to a closed state.
