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.
A recording system comprising:
- a liquid ejecting apparatus that ejects a liquid onto a medium to perform recording;
- and
- a post-processing device that performs post-processing for the medium subjected to recording by the liquid ejecting apparatus, wherein
- the post-processing device includes
- a processing tray including a mounting surface on which the medium 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 transported in the first direction by the transporting member,
- 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.
