An embodiment of the present invention is a printer in which peeling issuing and continuous issuing can be switched. Peeling issuing allows a label to be issued after being peeled from a liner of a print medium with the label releasably attached on the liner. Continuous issuing allows the label to be issued without being peeled from the liner. The printer includes: a feed roller configured to feed the print medium; a print head configured to pinch the print medium with the feed roller and to print information on the label; and a peeling unit configured to hold a peeling roller that faces the feed roller in peeling issuing. The peeling unit is movable between a closed position and an open position, the closed position being a position at which the peeling unit at least partly covers the print head, the open position being a position at which the peeling unit does not cover the print head. When the peeling unit is at the open position, space for allowing mounting and removing the print head is formed.
