Abstract
A sheet-shaped medium processing apparatus including a pair of arranging members. The arranging members have both an arranging function for arranging paper piled on a tray after being discharged in a discharge direction from a paper discharge roller at a fixed position, and a sorting/arranging function for arranging the papers grouped together at a different position in a direction perpendicular to the discharge direction for grouping together a predetermined number of papers. The apparatus arranges and sorts using low drive power and arranges the paper with high precision regardless of the amount of paper on the tray.
