1. A tape cassette, comprising:
a housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, a rear wall, a front wall, a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall, the first wall, the second wall, and the third wall being positioned between the front wall and the rear wall in a first direction orthogonal to the front wall and the rear wall, an arm portion including the front wall, the first wall, and the third wall, the arm portion having a tape feed exit located on an end of the arm portion in a second direction parallel to the front wall and the bottom wall, the first wall and the second wall forming an opening extending in a third direction from the bottom wall to the top wall between the first wall and the second wall in the first direction, the third wall being positioned between the front wall and the first wall in the first direction, the third direction being orthogonal to the first and the second directions; a tape, a portion of the tape being included within the arm portion, another portion of the tape being exposed through the tape feed exit, the tape being configured to be fed to the tape feed exit in the second direction; a rear indentation indented from a rear portion of the bottom wall toward the top wail up to a ceiling surface, the ceiling surface being parallel to the top wall and the bottom wall, the ceiling surface being between the top wall and the bottom wall in the third direction; a plurality of front indicator portions positioned opposite of the portion of the tape with respect to the third wall in the first direction, the plurality of front indicator portions including a first type and a second type, the first type being defined on a surface of the front wall, the second type having an elevation with respect to the front wall in the first direction and exposing a portion of the third wall, positions of the plurality of front indicator portions corresponding to a type of the tape; and a rear indicator portion formed on the ceiling surface, a position of the rear indicator portion indicating a color of characters, the rear indicator portion being one of a pressing portion and a non-pressing portion that is an aperture, wherein a virtual centerline of the tape cassette in the first direction intersects the opening and the rear indicator portion, wherein a portion of the plurality of front indicator portions is downstream in the second direction of the virtual centerline, and another portion of the plurality of front indicator portions is upstream in the second direction of the virtual centerline. |
