Printing device and cutting device

A cutting device for cutting a long medium, the cutting device comprising:

• a medium transporting mechanism configured to transport the medium in a longitudinal direction of the medium, a cutting mechanism configured to cut the medium in a width direction of the medium orthogonal to a transport direction of the medium, and a cutting platen having an opposing portion disposed facing the cutting mechanism;
• wherein
• the cutting mechanism includes a cutter blade that cuts the medium, a carriage that holds the cutter blade, a carriage driving mechanism that moves the carriage in a width direction of the medium, and a medium pressing member that presses the medium toward the opposing portion,
• the medium pressing member is attached to the carriage,
• the medium pressing member is formed with an opposing surface facing the opposing portion,
• assuming that an advancing direction side of the carriage when the cutter blade cuts the medium is a first direction side,
• a first inclined surface is formed at an end portion on the first direction side of the opposing surface, the first inclined surface being inclined toward a side away from the opposing portion toward the first direction side, and
• the first inclined surface is disposed on the first direction side than the cutter blade.

A cutting device for cutting a long medium, the cutting device comprising:

• a medium transporting mechanism that transports the medium in a longitudinal direction of the medium, and a second cutting mechanism that cuts the medium along a transport direction of the medium;
• and
• wherein when a portion of the medium cut by the second cutting mechanism is defined as a cut line, a portion of the medium disposed on one side in a width direction of the medium orthogonal to a transport direction of the medium with the cut line as a boundary is defined as a first medium portion, and a portion of the medium disposed on the other side in the width direction of the medium with the cut line as a boundary is defined as a second medium portion,
• the cutting device includes an accommodating portion in which the first medium portion is accommodated;
• a medium winding mechanism that winds the second medium portion;
• and a guide member that is disposed between the accommodating portion and the second cutting mechanism in a transport direction of the medium and guides the first medium portion in a direction away from the second medium portion.
