Thermal printer

A thermal printer, comprising:

• a thermal head provided so as to be opposed to a printing surface of a recording medium, and configured to perform printing on the printing surface;
• a platen roller provided so as to be opposed to an adhesive surface opposite to the printing surface, and configured to convey the recording medium;
• a fixed blade arranged so as to be opposed to the printing surface, and provided more on a downstream side in a conveying direction of the recording medium than the thermal head;
• a movable blade arranged so as to be opposed to the adhesive surface, and provided more on the downstream side than the platen roller;
• and
• a non-adhesive member arranged so as to be opposed to the adhesive surface, and provided adjacent to the movable blade in the conveying direction,
• wherein the movable blade is configured to advance and retract in a direction of approaching and separating from the fixed blade, and has a blade edge that is formed at an end portion on an edge side of the movable blade opposed to the adhesive surface in an advancing/retracting direction of the movable blade, and that is configured to cut the recording medium, and
• wherein the blade edge is located more on the edge side than an end portion of the non-adhesive member on the edge side when the movable blade is moved close to the fixed blade to cut the recording medium, and is located more on a base end side opposite to the edge side in the advancing/retracting direction than the end portion of the non-adhesive member on the edge side when the movable blade that has cut the recording medium is separated from the fixed blade.
