a main body including an accommodating portion configured to accommodate a printing medium;
a cover displaceable between an open position where the accommodation portion is opened and a closed position where the accommodation portion is closed;
a platen roller attached to the cover and rotatably supported by the cover;
a peeling roller attached to the cover and supported so as to be rotatable about an axis parallel to a longitudinal direction of the platen roller; and
a switching mechanism attached to the cover and configured to switch the peeling roller between a contact position where the peeling roller comes into contact with the platen roller when the cover is closed and a non-contact position where the peeling roller is away from the platen roller when cover is opened, by moving the peeling roller with respect to the cover in conjunction with movement of the cover; and
the moving the peeling roller includes that when the cover is closed, the switching mechanism, in response to the cover moving to the closed position, moves the peeling roller from the non-contact position to the contact position.
