Abstract
A medium conveyance apparatus includes a housing having a frame, a placing table provided on the housing to be openable and closeable and configured to place a medium when the placing table is in an opened state, a to-be-engaged portion provided on the frame, an engagement part provided on at least one side of the placing table to face the to-be-engaged portion when the placing table is in a closed state, a to-be-contacted portion provided on the frame, and a contact portion provided on the placing table. In the medium conveyance apparatus, when the placing table is in the closed state, the engagement part engages with the to-be-engaged portion and maintains the closed state of the placing table. In the medium conveyance apparatus, when the placing table is in the closed state, the contact portion contacts the to-be-contacted portion and restricts movement of the placing table and thereby restricting separation of the engagement part from the to-be-engaged portion.
