Abstract
A printing device has an outside coverthat pivots in a closing direction from an open position and moves to a closed position; a stationary-side pressure leverthat rotates in the same direction as the closing direction from a stationary-side release position where a stationary-side media pressure part is separated from the conveyance path surface, and moves to a stationary-side pressure position wherein roll paper is pressed to the conveyance path surface by the stationary-side media pressure part when the outside coverrotates in the closing direction; and a movable-side pressure leverthat rotates in the opposite direction as the closing direction from a movable-side release position where a movable-side media pressure part is separated from the conveyance path surface, and moves to a movable-side pressure position wherein roll paper is pressed to the conveyance path surface by the movable-side media pressure part when the outside coverrotates in the closing direction.
