Abstract
To provide a medium processing device that can suitably perform the width adjustment of media of various sizes.SOLUTION: A medium processing device 1 includes: a checkbook insertion outlet 6, which is the insertion port for the medium; a transport path 9 where the inserted medium is conveyed; a conveyance feed roller 10 that conveys the medium in the transport direction along the transport path 9; a width-adjusting roller 21 that serves as a width adjustment section to push the medium towards one side of the transport path 9; a third sensor S3 installed on the transport path 9 and serves as a medium detection sensor that detects the presence of the medium; and a control unit 20 that controls the transport of the medium. The control unit 20 transports the medium in the direction of the insertion port based on the detection results of the medium detection sensor prior to the width adjustment and then allows the width adjustment section to bring the medium into contact with the one side.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
