PRINTING DEVICE HAVING SHEET SUPPORT PORTION MOVABLE TO RANGE EXCEEDING SHEET WIDTH AND ALSO EXCEEDING RANGE OF SHEET WIDTH DETECTION

摘要

A printing device includes a first support portion, a second support portion movable in a moving direction of the second support portion toward and away from the first support portion, a movable probe movably supported by a detector, and a permission mechanism. The movable range consists of a first range and a second range. The permission mechanism is configured to permit the movable probe to move in accordance with the movement of the second support portion in the separating/approaching direction relative to the first support portion in a case where the movement of the second support portion is within the first range, and is also configured to prevent the movable probe from moving irrespective of further movement of the second support portion relative to the first support portion in a case where the movement of the second support portion is within the second range.
