A printer includes a main body having an upper opening. A platen is arranged in the main body such that it opposes the opening. A cover is mounted on the main body such that it is pivotable between a closing position, for covering the opening except for a portion above the platen, and an opening position, for exposing the opening. A cutter having a blade is supported on the inner surface of the cover such that it opposes the main body. The cutter is pivotable between a stand-by position, where the blade is located above the platen, a cutting position, where the blade abuts against the peripheral surface of the platen, and a housing position, where the blade is located at a side opposite to the platen, about the pivotal center of the cutter. The cutter is selectively urged by springs toward the stand-by position or the housing position.
