1. A printing device comprising:
a housing having a columnar shape with a space in which a printing tape is attachable from above, the space being defined at an upper portion of the housing;
a print head provided inside the housing; and
a cover attachable to the housing in an up-down direction, the cover being movable between a covering position in which the cover covers the upper portion of the housing and an engaged position in which the cover is engaged with the housing, the cover being configured to move between the covering position and the engaged position by rotating about an axis of the housing,
wherein the printing device is configured to switch, in conjunction with movement of the cover from the covering position to the engaged position, from a non-printable state in which the printing device cannot print on the printing tape to a printable state in which the printing device can print on the printing tape.
