To provide a tape printing device capable of increasing detectors on a bottom surface of a cartridge mounting portion, and of maintaining volume efficiency of the tape cartridge.SOLUTION: A tape printing device includes a cartridge mounting portion 11 on which a tape cartridge is mounted, a detection unit that has a first detection member 71 configured to be protruded from and retracted into a first detection opening 59 provided on a bottom surface of the cartridge mounting portion 11, and detects a type of a printing tape accommodated in the tape cartridge, and a thermal head 37 that performs printing on the printing tape. A portion of the first detection member 71, exposed from the first detection opening 59, is located outside a tape accommodating area 120 and is provided at a position on a side of the tape accommodating area 120 different from a side of a first area 130 in a plan view when the tape cartridge is mounted on the cartridge mounting portion 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】検出子をカートリッジ装着部の底面に増設することができ、テープカートリッジの容積効率を維持することができるテープ印刷装置を提供する。【解決手段】テープカートリッジが装着されるカートリッジ装着部１１と、カートリッジ装着部１１の底面に設けられた第１検出開口５９から出没可能に構成された第１検出部材７１を有し、テープカートリッジに収容された印刷テープの種別を検出する検出部と、印刷テープに印刷するサーマルヘッド３７とを備え、第１検出部材７１の第１検出開口５９から露出する部分は、カートリッジ装着部１１にテープカートリッジが装着された際の平面視において、テープ収容エリア１２０より外側に位置し、かつテープ収容エリア１２０の第１領域１３０側とは異なる位置に設けられる。【選択図】図９
