Apparatus for processing media

A media processing apparatus for performing processing on a recording medium to discharge, comprising:

• an apparatus housing;
• a medium processing section adapted to perform predetermined processing on the recording medium;
• an error detection member adapted to detect whether or not the recording medium is correctly processed in the medium processing section;
• a discharge member adapted to discharge the recording medium processed in the medium processing section;
• and
• a plurality of discharge sections to which the recording medium is discharged by the discharge member, wherein the plurality of discharge sections is disposed parallel in a same direction as a discharge direction of the recording medium by the discharge member on one side of the apparatus housing, and is comprised of a first discharge section including a first frame body and a second discharge section including a second frame body of which a length dimension in the discharge direction is shorter than that of the first frame body,
• wherein the discharge member is arranged on an upstream side of the first discharge section and the second discharge section in the discharge direction of the recording medium, and discharges the recording medium with an error detected in the error detection member to the second discharge member, and
• the discharge member is comprised of a direction change section adapted to turn with the recording medium being nipped to shift to a first position to discharge the recording medium to the first discharge section and a second position to discharge the recording medium to the second discharge section, and change a direction of the recording medium.
