Claim 0:
1. A post-processing apparatus comprising:
a transport path having a first path member that forms a path facing a first surface of a medium and a second path member that forms a path facing a second surface of the medium, the medium, on which recording was performed by a recording section, being transported on the transport path, and
a punching member disposed on the transport path to perform punching on the medium, wherein
the transport path includes
a first transport path disposed downstream of the punching member in a transport direction, and
a second transport path continuously extending downstream of the first transport path in the transport path, the second transport path having a curved shape to hold the medium in a curved state,

the first path member in the second transport path forms an outer side of the curved shape and is disposed at a position further separated from the first surface than the first path member in the first transport path, and
an upstream end in the transport direction of the medium in the curved state is moved from the first transport path to the second transport path.
