Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a printer according to the embodiment includes: a holder of a rolled print medium. The holder includes a moving member that is provided to be slidable on a shaft member to be inserted through a support hole of the rolled print medium in an axial direction and includes a guide member that can stand and fall with respect to the shaft member. Further, the holder includes an adjustment member that makes a pressure contact force of a biasing member that presses the shaft member and the moving member together to restrain sliding movement of the moving member with respect to the shaft member larger in a standing state of the guide member than in a fallen state of the guide member.

A printer, comprising:
- a holder that rotatably supports a rolled print medium;
- and
- a printing unit that prints on the rolled print medium fed out from the holder, wherein
- the holder includes
- a shaft member to be inserted through a support hole formed in the rolled print medium in an axial direction,
- a moving member that is provided to be slidable on the shaft member in the axial direction with respect to the shaft member and includes a guide member that can be in a standing state in which the guide member extends in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction and in a fallen state in which the quide member extends in the axial direction,
- a biasing member that presses the shaft member and the moving member together to provide a braking force against sliding movement of the moving member with respect to the shaft member during the standing state and the fallen state of the quide member, and
- an adjustment member that makes a pressure contact force applied by the biasing member to the shaft member and the moving member larger in the standing state of the guide member than in the fallen state of the guide member so that the braking force is larger in the standing state than in the fallen state.
