Abstract
A cutter device includes a medium supporting surface that supports a recording medium being transported, and a cutter carriage that has a cutter blade for cutting the recording medium and that is movable in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the recording medium. An opening that forms a passage region for the cutter carriage is provided in the medium supporting surface so as to extend in the moving direction of the cutter carriage. The opening is provided with a cover capable of switching between a first state in which the cover covers the opening and forms part of the medium supporting surface and a second state in which the cover is retracted to form the passage region for the cutter carriage.
