Abstract
An end unit includes: a processing tray including an upper surface on which a medium subjected to recording by a recording unit is mounted; a first paddle and a second paddle that transport, in direction +A, the medium mounted on the upper surface; an alignment section that aligns an edge portion of the medium, which was transported in direction +A by the first paddle and the second paddle, in direction +A; a post-processing section that performs post-processing for the medium aligned by the alignment section; and a load member that applies a load when the medium on the processing tray moves in direction −A opposite to direction +A.

A post-processing device comprising:
- a processing tray including a mounting surface on which a medium subjected to recording by a liquid ejecting apparatus is mounted;
- a transporting member that transports, in a first direction, the medium mounted on the mounting surface;
- an edge alignment section that aligns an edge portion of the medium, which was transported in the first direction by the transporting member, in the first direction;
- a post-processing section that performs post-processing for the medium aligned by the edge alignment section;
- and
- a load applying section that applies a load when the medium on the processing tray moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction,
- wherein the load applying section is a plate member having a first end that extends from a fixation member that extends beneath the processing tray and a second end that protrudes from the mounting surface and is inclined in the first direction.
A post-processing device comprising:
- a processing tray including a mounting surface on which a medium subjected to recording by a liquid ejecting apparatus is mounted;
- a transporting member that transports, in a first direction, the medium mounted on the mounting surface;
- an edge alignment section that aligns an edge portion of the medium, which was transported in the first direction by the transporting member, in the first direction;
- a post-processing section that performs post-processing for the medium aligned by the edge alignment section;
- and
- a load applying section that applies a load when the medium on the processing tray moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein
- the load applying section also applies a load when the medium moves in the first direction, and
- an impulse applied to a first medium by the transporting member when the first medium is transported in the first direction is greater than an impulse applied to a second medium or a medium after the second medium by the transporting member when the second medium or the medium after the second medium is transported in the first direction.
A post-processing device comprising:
- a processing tray including a mounting surface on which a medium subjected to recording by a liquid ejecting apparatus is mounted;
- a transporting member that transports, in a first direction, the medium mounted on the mounting surface;
- an edge alignment section that aligns an edge portion of the medium, which was transported in the first direction by the transporting member, in the first direction;
- a post-processing section that performs post-processing for the medium aligned by the edge alignment section;
- and
- a load applying section that applies a load when the medium on the processing tray moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein
- the load applying section is configured to apply a load when the medium moves in the first direction and switch an applied state of the load to be applied to the medium, and
- the load applied by the load applying section when the medium moves in the first direction is smaller than the load applied by the load applying section when the medium moves in the second direction.
