PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer that is able to prevent a movable member for opening/closing a cover from being deformed and damaged by impact applied due to falling.SOLUTION: A printer comprises a first cover and a second cover. The first cover and the second cover form a box-like housing. In addition, the printer comprises a lever 50, an engagement member 76, and a release cam 75. The lever 50 is vertically movable between a first position and a second position. The engagement member 76 is swingable between a lock position where it engages with the second cover and an unlock position where it separates from the second cover. The release cam 75 connects the lever 50 and the engagement member 76 with each other and interlocks operations. The release cam 75 has a contact part 754. The contact part 754 is disposed a predetermined space left from the lever 50. The contact part 754 is able to come into contact with the lever 50 from front according to the first cover deformed by external force.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】カバーを開閉するための移動部材が、落下の衝撃により変形して破損することを抑制できる印刷装置を提供する。【解決手段】印刷装置は、第１カバーと第２カバーとを備える。第１カバー及び第２カバーは、箱状の筐体を形成する。さらに、印刷装置は、レバー５０と係合部材７６とリリースカム７５とを備える。レバー５０は、第１位置と第２位置との間を上下方向に移動できる。係合部材７６は、第２カバーに係合するロック位置と第２カバーから脱離するアンロック位置との間を揺動できる。リリースカム７５は、レバー５０と係合部材７６とを互いに接続し、動作を連動させる。リリースカム７５は当接部７５４を備える。当接部７５４は、レバー５０から所定の隙間を空けて配置される。当接部７５４は、外力による第１カバーの変形に応じて、前側からレバー５０に当接できる。【選択図】図９
