Abstract
A printer as a medium processing apparatus includes a transport path through which a paper being transported passes, a recording head that records on the paper on the transport path, and a platen that forms at least a portion of the transport path as a path forming member with which the paper comes into contact, in which a surface resistance value of the path forming member changes according to an applied voltage of the medium.
Claims17
A medium processing apparatus comprising:
- a transport unit that transports a medium;
- a transport path through which the medium being transported by the transport unit passes;
- a processing unit that performs predetermined processing on the medium on the transport path;
- a path forming member that forms at least a portion of the transport path;
- and
- a medium placement unit on which the medium fed toward the processing unit by the transport unit is placed,
- wherein a surface resistance value of the path forming member changes according to an applied voltage of the medium, and
- wherein the path forming member forms at least a portion of the transport path from the medium placement unit to the processing unit.
