Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small-sized print device having a print gap switching mechanism.SOLUTION: The print device has: a carriage on which is mounted a print head for performing printing on a sheet; a supporting member that supports a movement of the carriage; and switching means that changes an interval between the print head mounted on the carriage and the sheet by moving the carriage. The switching means includes: a switching member that changes the interval by switching a position of the carriage relative to the supporting member provided in the carriage; a fixed abutting portion that contacts the switching member in the vicinity of one end of a movement region of the carriage; and a movable abutting portion that is provided in the movement region of the carriage in a projectable manner and contacts the switching member while projecting. The switching member contacts the fixed abutting portion to displace the carriage so that the interval becomes equal to a first distance, and contacts the movable abutting portion to displace the carriage so that the interval becomes equal to a second distance different from the first distance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】プリントギャップ切り替え機構を有する小型のプリント装置の提供。【解決手段】シートにプリントを行うプリントヘッドが取り付けられるキャリッジと、キャリッジの移動を支持する支持部材と、キャリッジを移動させることにより、キャリッジに取り付けられたプリントヘッドとシートとの間隔を変更する切替手段と、を有するプリント装置であって、切替手段は、キャリッジに設けられ支持部材に対するキャリッジの位置を切り替えることで間隔を変更させる切替部材と、キャリッジの移動領域の一端の近傍において切替部材と当接する固定突当部と、キャリッジの移動領域内に突出可能に設けられ突出した状態で切替部材と当接する可動突当部と、を含み、切替部材は、固定突当部と当接することにより間隔が第1の距離となるようにキャリッジを変位させ、可動突当部と当接することにより間隔が前記第1の距離とは異なる第2の距離となるようにキャリッジを変位させるプリント装置。【選択図】図3
