A tape discharging mechanism including an discharge feeding section which feeds a tape toward a tape discharge port, a pivoting section which pivots in a first pivoting direction as the tape fed to the discharge feeding section comes into contact with a tape contact portion, an discharge sensor which detects the pivoting section pivoted in the first pivoting direction, and a pivoting spring which applies a force to the pivoting section in a second pivoting direction, in which the discharge feeding section includes a first discharge roller, a second discharge roller, a third discharge roller, and an discharge belt, and the tape contact portion comes into contact with the tape within a pinching range in which the tape is pinched between the first discharge roller and the discharge belt in a tape feeding direction in which the tape is fed.
