Abstract
The probability of a conveyed medium becoming jammed is reduced. A switching gate including a plurality of blades that switch a conveyance direction of a medium conveyed by a conveyor belt among a plurality of directions including at least a first direction or a second direction by abutting against the medium, in which the plurality of blades include blades of a blade pair which are disposed at a first distance that is larger than a length of the conveyor belt in a width direction, and blades disposed at a second distance that is smaller than the first distance with respect to the other blades, and the blades of the blade pair disposed at the first distance include an auxiliary blade for reducing a distance between the blades of the blade pair.
