To provide a printer including a tension applying mechanism for applying tension to a long medium, where the tension applying mechanism can be easily installed when the tension applying mechanism is necessary and the tension applying mechanism can be easily detached when the tension applying mechanism is unnecessary. The printer includes a printer main body that performs printing on the long medium, a supporting body including a supporting frame that supports the printer main body from a lower side, and tension applying mechanisms each including a tension bar that comes into contact with the medium and applies tension to the medium. The tension applying mechanisms each include a frame in which a guide groove having a slit shape for guiding the tension bar in a vertical direction is formed, and the frame 24 is detachably attached to the supporting body.
