Abstract
A cutting portion (cutting device) includes a fixed blade that extends in an intersecting direction (X axis direction) intersected with a transport direction transporting a roll paper, and a round blade that cuts the roll paper by relatively moving in the intersecting direction (X axis direction) with respect to the fixed blade in a state of being abutted on the fixed blade, in which the fixed blade extends over a portion of a range where the round blade relatively moves, and the round blade is in a separation state of being separated from the fixed blade in the transport direction when entering a region facing the fixed blade (cutting operation region) from a region not facing the fixed blade (standby region).
Claims6
A cutting device comprising:
- a first cutting member that extends in an intersecting direction intersected with a transport direction transporting a medium;
- a second cutting member that cuts the medium by relatively moving in the intersecting direction with respect to the first cutting member in a state of being abutted on the first cutting member;
- and
- a support portion that supports the second cutting member,
- wherein the first cutting member extends over a portion of a range where the second cutting member relatively moves, and
- the support portion is configured to be rotated such that the second cutting member is in a separation state of being separated from the first cutting member in the transport direction when entering a region facing the first cutting member from a region not facing the first cutting member.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a transport portion that transports a medium in a transport direction;
- a printing portion that performs printing on the medium to be transported;
- a platen that supports the medium in a printing region where the printing is performed;
- a first cutting member that extends in an intersecting direction intersected with the transport direction;
- a second cutting member that cuts the medium by relatively moving in the intersecting direction with respect to the first cutting member in a state of being abutted on the first cutting member;
- and
- a support portion that supports the second cutting member,
- wherein the first cutting member extends over a portion of a range where the second cutting member relatively moves, and
- the support portion is configured to be rotated such that the second cutting member is in a separation state of being separated from the first cutting member in the transport direction when entering a region facing the first cutting member from a region not facing the first cutting member.
