Abstract:
1. A medium receiving device that receives a medium which is ejected and falls from a medium ejection unit at a position lower than the medium ejection unit in a gravity direction, comprising: a first member that extends in a width direction of the medium that intersects with an ejection direction of the medium at a position spaced from the medium ejection unit; a second member that is fixedly provided at a position which is lower than the medium ejection unit in the gravity direction and on the side of the medium ejection unit with respect to the first member and extends in the width direction of the medium; and a medium holding member that is hung between the first member and the second member so as to form a receiving surface for the medium which falls thereon and is capable of holding the medium on the receiving surface, wherein the first member is movable between a first position which is spaced from the medium ejection unit in a direction that intersects with a vertical line and a second position which is further spaced from the medium ejection unit than the first position with rotative displacement about a rotation shaft that extends in the width direction of the medium; and wherein the rotation shaft is located vertically above a straight line extending between the first member and the second member in a direction that intersects with the axial direction of the rotation shaft.
