A receptacle section stores a label. A label discharge port is positioned at a front end portion of a housing to let the label pass therethrough. A guide passage connects the receptacle portion and the label discharge port with each other and guides the label. A conveyance mechanism conveys the label along the guide passage from the receptacle section and discharges it through the label discharge port. A control section controls a drive source of the conveyance mechanism. A printing section performs a printing operation in the guide passage. A pivotable member is positioned in the label discharge port. One end of the pivotable member is located outside the front end portion of the housing, while an opposite end thereof is located inside the front end portion of the housing, and the pivotable member pivots, centered on an axis thereof extending in the width direction of the label discharged through the label discharge port. A label pressing section is positioned on the one end side of the pivotable member to press the label discharged through the label discharge port against a to-be-labeled object. A label cutting section is positioned on the opposite end side of the pivotable member, and with a pivoting motion of the pivotable member induced by the pressing motion of the label pressing section, the label cutting section comes into abutment against the label to form a slit in the label.
