Abstract
A medium conveyance device includes a placement body having a bundle conveyance face on which a medium bundle is conveyed. A Scott-Russell body includes an abutting portion that abuts the medium bundle. A movement section causes the Scott-Russell body to abut against the medium bundle and moves the Scott-Russell body along the bundle conveyance face in first or second directions, so as to move the medium bundle along the bundle conveyance face in the direction. The conveyance state switching section switches to a first state in which the Scott-Russell body is caused to abut against a second direction side of the medium bundle and conveyance of the medium bundle toward the first direction is enabled, or to a second state in which the Scott-Russell body is caused to abut against a first direction side of the medium bundle and conveyance of the medium bundle toward the second direction is enabled.
