Abstract
A medium receiving tray has a first tray and a second tray. A movable support having a second support surface for supporting media is disposed in the second tray. When the medium receiving tray is in a first state, the movable support is positioned above a first support surface of the first tray. When the medium receiving tray is switched from the first state to a second state, a free end is detached from the downstream end of the first support surface and displaced downward, and the second support surface is thereby inclined upward toward the downstream in a medium discharging direction.
