Abstract

A device for printing on media disposed on a backing may include a printer with a housing including a media cover, a media cover release actuator, and a peeler assembly actuator. The media cover release actuator and the peeler assembly actuator may each be accessible for actuation by a user when the media cover is in a closed position. The media cover release actuator may be configured to release the media cover from the closed position in response to actuation by a user. The peeler assembly may at least partially be enclosed by the housing and it may be engagable between a peeling position, where the printer is configured to peel the media from the backing, and a non-peeling position, where the printer is not configured to peel the media from the backing.
