Abstract
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.
