A printing device capable of printing on a card-shaped printing medium, comprising:

• a linear transport path to transport the printing medium;
• a card rotating section provided at one end of the transport path to change a transport direction of the printing medium;
• a supply stacker provided above the transport path and the card rotating section to store printing media prior to processing to be placed parallel in a laminate manner;
• a printing section provided below the transport path to perform printing processing on the printing medium from below the transport path;
• a discharge stacker provided at the other end of the transport path to store printing media subjected to the printing processing to overlap in a laminate manner;
• and
• a second recording section that records information on the printing medium, on the side opposite to the supply stacker in the card rotating section, on an extension of a supply path to supply the printing medium toward the card rotating section from the supply stacker,
• wherein the printing section has an image formation section that forms an image on an intermediate transfer medium, and an image transfer section provided above the image formation section to transfer the image formed on the intermediate transfer medium to the printing medium, and a first recording section that records information on the printing medium is further provided in between the image transfer section and the card rotating section while being between the transport path and the supply stacker.
