Abstract
A loading device includes a placement portion and a friction member. A single paper sheet discharged from a discharge unit is placed on the placement portion. The friction member is disposed downstream of a downstream end portion of the placement portion in a discharge direction, and includes a contact surface that can come into contact with a back surface, of the single paper sheet, facing the placement portion. The contact surface extends at least in the discharge direction, at a position lower than the height position of the downstream end portion in a height direction.
Claims12
A medium loading device on which is loaded a medium discharged from a discharge unit of a processing device, the medium loading device comprising:
- a placement portion on which at least one sheet of the medium discharged from the discharge unit is placed;
- and
- a friction member disposed downstream of a downstream end portion of the placement portion in a movement direction, at the placement portion, of the medium, and including a contact surface configured to come into contact with a back surface, of the medium, facing the placement portion, wherein
- the contact surface extends at least in the movement direction at a position lower than a height position of the downstream end portion in a device height direction,
- wherein the medium loading device is a device that is separate from the processing device.
A recording system including a recording device and a medium loading device, wherein
- the recording device includes
- a storage unit configured to store a recording medium,
- a transport unit configured to transport the recording medium from the storage unit,
- a recording unit configured to perform recording on the recording medium transported by the transport unit, and
- a discharge unit configured to discharge the recording medium on which the recording was performed by the recording unit,
- the medium loading device includes
- a placement portion on which at least one sheet of the recording medium discharged from the discharge unit is placed, and
- a friction member disposed downstream of a downstream end portion of the placement portion in a movement direction, at the placement portion, of the recording medium, and including a contact surface configured to come into contact with a back surface, of the recording medium, facing the placement portion, and
- the contact surface extends at least in the movement direction at a position lower than a height position of the downstream end portion in a device height direction,
- wherein the medium loading device is a device that is separate from the processing device.
