Abstract

A control unit controlling an operation of opening and closing a pair of support portions and an operation of displacing a loading tray in a loading direction can acquire curl information including information regarding the degree of curl of a medium. The control unit sets, based on the curl information, a position of the loading tray in the loading direction when the pair of support portions are opened and closed to a first position in a case where a condition when the pair of support portions are opened and closed is a first condition, and the position of the loading tray in the loading direction when the pair of support portions are opened and closed to a second position lower than the first position in a case where the condition is a second condition on which the medium curls more easily than on the first condition.
