Printer

A printer comprising:

• a body case that includes a placement surface for the printer and an accommodating chamber for accommodating a roll body into which a belt-shaped print medium are wound;
• a printer cover configured to open and close the accommodating chamber;
• a platen roller that is attached to the printer cover and configured to convey the belt-shaped print medium drawn out of the roll body;
• and
• a hinge that includes a hinge shaft and is configured to couple the printer cover with the body case so that the printer cover is swingable about the hinge shaft relative to the body case, wherein:
• the body case comprise a first coupled part that is coupled with the printer cover via the hinge,
• the printer cover comprises:
• an upper surface portion and an inclined surface portion, the inclined surface portion being provided between the hinge shaft and the upper surface portion and inclined relative to the placement surface, and
• a second coupled part that is coupled with the body case via the hinge,
• H1<H2 is established where H1 is defined as a height from the placement surface to the hinge shaft and H2 is defined as a height from the placement surface to a highest position from the hinge shaft to the upper surface portion, and
• when the printer is placed with the printer cover open such that the placement surface matches a horizontal plane, an acute angle is formed, as seen in a side view of the printer, between the first coupled part and the second coupled part, and the inclined surface portion substantially faces the horizontal plane while being spaced apart from the horizontal plane.
