Abstract
A medium discharging device includes a discharge roller pair that discharges a medium, a discharge tray disposed below the discharge roller pair in a vertical direction and having a placement surface on which the discharged medium is placed, and a guide member that is advanced and retracted between an advanced position where the guide member is advanced inward in a width direction from opposite sides in the width direction intersecting a discharge direction of the medium and a retracted position where the guide member is retracted to an end portion position side in the width direction. When the guide member is disposed at the advanced position, an upstream side end portion of the guide member in the discharge direction is disposed between a discharge position by the discharge roller pair and a position of the placement surface of the discharge tray, in the vertical direction.
