Printing device

A printing device, comprising:

• a transporting unit configured to transport a print medium in a transport direction;
• a printing unit configured to print on the print medium;
• a roller located downstream from the printing unit in the transport direction;
• an opposing member opposing the roller;
• a motor rotatable in a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction;
• a coupling mechanism configured to drivably couple the motor and the roller, wherein the coupling mechanism is configured to rotate the roller in a first direction when the motor rotates in the first rotation direction, the first direction being a rotation direction in which the print medium is transported downstream in the transport direction;
• a moving mechanism configured to move the roller to a first position at which the roller holds the print medium between the roller and the opposing member, and to a second position at which the roller is spaced from the print medium;
• and
• a first switching mechanism configured to drivably couple the motor and the moving mechanism when the motor rotates in the second rotation direction and to decouple the motor from the moving mechanism when the motor rotates in the first rotation direction.
