ABSTRACT:
A printer avoids scratching or damaging the platen and print defects caused by adhesive. The printer1prints to thermal paper S that has an adhesive area150formed on one side with the edges of the paper adhesive-free, and color layers formed on the other side of the paper. The thermal paper S is wound sequentially into a roll so that the other side is on the outside without applying a liner protecting the adhesive area150on the one side. The printer1has a platen18, a heating element unit43, and a guide incline45. The platen18is disposed to a main cover, rotates in the thermal paper S transportation direction, and applies pressure to the thermal paper S from the one side. The heating element unit43selectively heats the other side of the paper. The guide incline45guides the thermal paper S in a prescribed direction without contacting the area on the back of the adhesive area150on the other side of the thermal paper S after the thermal paper S passes the heating element unit43, and guides the platen18to a prescribed position so that the platen18does not contact the heating element unit43when the main cover is closed.
