A printer includes a display displaying an image of predetermined image data selected from a plurality of image data sorted in order; a recording head recording the image of the image data on printing paper; and a plate-shaped operation tab rotatably attached to an attachment surface of a body. Based on a rotation operation to the operation tab detected by a rotary encoder, image data to be image-displayed on the display is switched according to the order of the image data. Consequently, it is possible to provide a printer which can be easily operated even by users not good at operating device when they want to display desired image data among the plural image data.
