Printer for printing on a print medium temporarily adhered to a belt-shaped mount

A printer feeding a belt-shaped mount to which a print medium temporarily adheres, the printer comprising:

• a container configured to contain a roll body into which the belt-shaped mount is wound;
• an opening and closing cover configured to open or close the container;
• a switching unit configured to be movable between a first position and a second position;
• and
• a spring configured to bias the switching unit in a direction from the second position to the first position,
• wherein, when the switching unit is at the first position, printing is performed with a first ejection mode in which a printed print medium is separated from the belt-shaped mount, and when the switching unit is at the second position, printing is performed with a second ejection mode in which a printed print medium is not separated from the belt-shaped mount,
• wherein a portion of the opening and closing cover contacts the switching unit against a biased force to the switching unit such that the switching unit moves until reaching the second position, in response to a status change of the opening and closing cover from an opened status to a closed status, and
• wherein the switching unit is biased to swing in a rotational direction from the second position to the first position.
