Medium discharge device, medium processing device, and method for controlling medium discharge device

Abstract

The medium discharge device 50 includes a mount section 6a, on which a medium tray 61a for stackable medium P is detachably mounted; a discharge port 5a that discharges the medium P onto the medium tray 61a mounted on the mount section 6a; a detection section that detects a “removal operation of the stacking section” for removing the medium tray 61a from the mount section 6a; a restriction section 7a capable of “restriction of removal of the stacking section” that restricts removal of the medium tray 61a from the mount section 6a; and control sections 90 and 91, wherein When the detection section detects the “removal operation of the stacking section,” the control sections 90 and 91 releases the “restriction of removal of the stacking section” by the restriction section 7a after discharge of the medium P from the discharge port 5a is stopped.
