Abstract
The medium discharge device 40 includes a transport path TB for transporting the medium P recorded by the recording device 10, a discharge section 38 for discharging the medium P transported in the transport path TB, a pair of support sections 60 for supporting the medium P discharged by the discharge section 38 onto a support surface 60a, and a stacking section 33 provided below the pair of support sections 60 in a gravity direction and on which are stacked the medium P that dropped from the pair of support sections 60, and the pair of support sections 60 have conductive members.
Claims11
A medium discharge device comprising:
- a transport path configured to transport a medium on which recording was performed by a recording device;
- a discharge section configured to discharge the medium that was transported through the transport path in a discharge direction;
- a pair of support sections configured to support, on support surfaces, the medium discharged by the discharge section, said pair of support sections being movable in a direction transverse to the discharge direction towards one another to a position that supports opposite edges of the medium and away from one another to a position that drops the medium;
- a stacking section that is provided below the pair of support sections in the gravity direction and on which is stacked the medium that dropped from the pair of support sections;
- and
- a static electricity discharge section formed of conductive material, wherein the pair of support sections includes a conductive member, and
- the conductive member is grounded to the static electricity discharge section.
