Abstract
Disclosed herein is a medium conveying apparatus in which unjamming can be efficiently performed. The medium conveying apparatus includes conveyance rollers configured to convey a card, a rotary unit configured to hold and rotate the card, sensors SN2 and SN26 configured to detect the distance the card has been conveyed, and a control section. If the distance the card has been conveyed that has been detected by the sensors SN2 and SN26 differs from a preset distance L1 (Yes in Step S320), the control section determines (in S328 and S336) whether the card can be positioned in a direction to be delivered from the rotary unit. If the card can be so positioned, a drive motor is controlled, rotating the rotary unit to position the card to be delivered.

A medium conveying apparatus comprising:
- a conveyance section configured to convey a medium;
- a direction changing section configured to change the direction in which the medium is conveyed by the conveyance section;
- a detection section configured to detect the distance the medium has been conveyed by the conveyance section;
- and
- a control section configured to control the direction changing section,
- wherein if the distance detected by the detection section differs from a preset distance L1, the control section determines whether the medium can be positioned in such a direction as to be delivered from the direction changing section, and if the medium can be so positioned, the control section controls the direction changing section, thereby positioning the medium in said direction.
