According to one embodiment, there is provided a printer device which prints on an adhesive member including an adhesive material on one surface and includes a thermal head, a platen, a fixed blade, a movable blade, an operation unit, and a control unit. The thermal head prints on the adhesive member by generating heat. The platen is arranged to face the thermal head. The fixed blade is arranged at a position where a blade edge faces a conveyance path of the adhesive member conveyed between the thermal head and the platen. The movable blade is arranged at a position where a blade edge of the movable blade faces the blade edge of the fixed blade via the conveyance path and moved at a first speed to a position where the blade edge of the movable blade is brought into contact with the blade edge of the fixed blade. The operation unit receives a first operation for instructing to start cleaning the movable blade from an operator. The control unit moves the movable blade to a position where the blade edge of the movable blade is exposed above the conveyance path at a second speed slower than the first speed when the operation unit receives the first operation.
