Claim 2:
3. A medium processing apparatus comprising:
a medium processing mechanism that processes a medium;
a first board configured to communicate with an external apparatus by a first communication method and control the medium processing mechanism;
a second board configured to communicate with the first board by the first communication method;
a third board configured to communicate with the second board by the first communication method and communicate with the external apparatus by a second communication method different from the first communication method;
a switcher that switches a communication destination of the first board to the second board or the external apparatus; and
a notification section that is a display or a speaker and that makes, when the communication destination of the first board is switched to the second board by the switcher, a notification of communication information based on the second communication method, wherein
the first board processes, when receiving a medium processing request from the external apparatus through the third board and the second board, the medium using the medium processing mechanism so as to transmit a result of the processing to the second board, and
the second board converts the received processing result and transmits the processing result to the external apparatus through the third board.
