Abstract:
1. A medium receiving device comprising: a medium holding member having a medium receiving surface that receives a part on a leading edge side in a discharge direction of a medium to be discharged; a plurality of medium edge restricting members that are arranged along a width direction of the medium orthogonal to the discharge direction, each of the medium edge restricting members including a restricting portion that restricts movement of the leading edge in the discharge direction of the medium to the discharge direction and a guidance portion that makes contact with the medium receiving surface so as to guide the leading edge of the medium from the medium receiving surface to the restricting portion; and a movement member that moves the plurality of medium edge restricting members together between a restricting position where the guidance portion makes contact with the medium receiving surface so as to guide the leading edge of the medium to the restricting portion and a non-restricting position where the guidance portion is separate from the medium receiving surface and does not guide the leading edge of the medium to the restricting portion, by being engaged with engagement portions provided in the medium edge restricting members, wherein at least one of the engagement portions respectively provided in the plurality of medium edge restricting members includes a gap between the at least one engagement portion and the movement member in a movement direction of the medium edge restricting member.
