Abstract
A media processing device does not execute a media transportation process if the height of media stacked in a media storage unit is at an over capacity level, and reliably prevents problems such as damage to the media transportation mechanism caused by collision with the stacked media. If in the media processing device the height of media stacked in a media storage unitis at a full stack level or over capacity level (step Sreturns yes or step Sreturns yes), an appropriate warning is output (step Sor step S) and collision accidents of the media transportation mechanismcan be prevented.
