Abstract
A post-processing device includes a first discharge section that discharges a medium subjected to recording by a recording device, a first tray on which the medium discharged by the first discharge section is mounted, a post-processing section that performs post-processing on the medium mounted on the first tray, a pressing section configured to perform a leading-end pressing operation of lowering a leading end of the medium by pressing the medium discharged by the first discharge section, and a control section that controls the pressing section, in which the control section performs the leading-end pressing operation after the medium is mounted on the first tray.
Claims13
A post-processing device comprising:
- a first discharge section that discharges a medium subjected to recording by a recording device;
- a first tray on which the medium discharged by the first discharge section in a first direction is mounted;
- a post-processing section that performs post-processing on the medium mounted on the first tray;
- a pressing section configured to perform a leading-end pressing operation of lowering a leading end of the medium by pressing the medium discharged by the first discharge section;
- a support section that supports a portion of the medium mounted on the first tray and having a first size;
- and
- a curling suppressing member that suppresses the medium supported by the support section from curling,
- a control section that controls the pressing section, wherein
- the support section does not support the medium of a second size smaller than the first size,
- the control section:
- performs the leading-end pressing operation after the medium is mounted on the first tray,
- does not perform the leading-end pressing operation when a size of the medium is the first size, and
- performs the leading-end pressing operation when the size of the medium is the second size.
A post-processing device comprising:
- a first discharge section that discharges a medium subjected to recording by a recording device;
- a first tray on which the medium discharged by the first discharge section in a first direction is mounted;
- a post-processing section that performs post-processing on the medium mounted on the first tray;
- a second discharge section that discharges the medium subjected to the post-processing by the post-processing section;
- a second tray on which the medium discharged by the second discharge section is mounted;
- a pressing section configured to perform a leading-end pressing operation of lowering a leading end of the medium by pressing the medium discharged by the first discharge section;
- a control section that controls the pressing section, wherein
- the pressing section is configured to perform a trailing-end pressing operation of lowering a trailing end of the medium by pressing the medium discharged by the second discharge section,
- the control section is configured to:
- perform the leading-end pressing operation after the medium is mounted on the first tray,
- move the pressing section to a leading-end pressing position to perform the leading-end pressing operation, and
- move the pressing section to a trailing-end pressing position to perform the trailing-end pressing operation, the trailing-end pressing position being below the leading-end pressing position.
