Abstract

A protection cover for a thermal printhead includes an elongated body and two bosses formed on the lower surface of the elongated body. These bosses are arranged to slant with each other when the cover is fixed to the thermal printhead. Thus, the protection cover, which is originally flat, is caused to warp so that its central portion is raised above its end portions.
