Abstract
A printer includes a platen unit having a platen roller for advancing recording paper and a head unit detachably combined with the platen unit and having a thermal head with heating elements. A fixed blade is provided in the platen unit and a movable blade is provided in the head unit for undergoing sliding movement relative to the fixed blade to cut the recording paper. A detected member provided to the platen unit is positioned at a predetermined position of the head unit when the head unit is combined with the platen unit. The detected member engages the movable blade for movement therewith as the movable blade slides. A sensor is provided at the predetermined position of the head unit for detecting the detected member to detect that the movable blade is at an initial position and to detect a combined state between the head unit and the platen unit.
