A medium discharge device includes an intermediate tray on which the medium aligned by the alignment section is placed, a pair of medium support sections configured to support a front end of the medium placed on the intermediate tray, and configured to be openable and closable, a discharge section for discharging a medium from the intermediate tray to the medium support section, and a curve imparting section that imparts a curve that warps in the medium direction to the medium by coming into contact with the medium discharged by the discharge unit. A step is formed between the intermediate tray and the pair of medium support sections.

Medium discharge device, medium processing device, and recording system

A transport unit transports a transport medium after the transport medium is newly placed as an uppermost medium in a state in which one or a plurality of placed media are already placed in a processing tray. At this state, at least one of the placed media placed on the processing tray is pressed by a pressing unit at a pressing position. After the transport unit is separated away from the transport medium, the pressing unit can move from the pressing position to a retraction position.

Post-processing device

A post processing device includes: a processing tray that supports media on which post processing is performed; a post processing section configured to perform post processing on the medium supported by the processing tray; and a blowing section configured to blow air at the medium supported by the processing tray, wherein a control section for controlling the blowing section sets a blowing amount by the blowing section to a first blowing amount when the number of sheets of medium supported by the processing tray is less than a predetermined set number of sheets and sets a blowing amount by the blowing section to a second blowing amount, which is larger than the first blowing amount, when the number of sheets of medium supported by the processing tray is equal to or greater than the set number of sheets.

Post processing device, recording system, and method for controlling post processing device

A stacking unit includes a processing tray, an alignment section, a transport section, and a moving section. The processing tray has a placement area in which one or more paper sheets are placed. The alignment section aligns leading edges of the paper sheets. The transport section transports the paper sheets to the alignment section. The moving section moves the paper sheets in ±X directions. The alignment section includes: a first alignment surface having a first friction coefficient; and a second alignment surface having a second friction coefficient. The second alignment surface is positioned upstream of the first alignment surface in a +A direction and closer to a center of the placement area in the ±X directions than the first alignment surface is.

Medium stacking apparatus and postprocessing apparatus

A recording apparatus includes: a receiver receiving recording data transmitted from a user; a recording section performing recording on a medium using the recording data; a storage section temporarily storing the recording data until the recording is finished; an output tray to which the medium with the recording finished is outputted; and a controller controlling the recording apparatus. Here, when an index indicating the size of a value of the number of users predicted to congregate near the recording apparatus is a density near the recording apparatus, the controller calculates the density based on information concerning recording data stored in the storage section, and enables the density to be referred to.
