Medium processing device

摘要

An object of the invention is to provide a medium processing device which carries out a plurality of processes, such as plotting and cutting, on a medium, such as paper, wherein there is no need to attach and detach units which carry out the plurality of processes, thus simplifying the structure of the device. A medium processing device, which carries out two kinds of processes on paper with a pen and a cutter, includes a carriage including a pen holder which holds the pen, a cutter holder which holds the cutter, and a changeover unit which, in a condition in which the pen holder is holding the pen and the cutter holder is holding the cutter, reduces and increases the distance between one of the pen and cutter and the paper in comparison with the distance between the other and the paper.

主权项

1. A medium processing device which carries out at least two kinds of process on a medium with a first processing unit and a second processing unit, comprising:
a carriage including:
a first holding unit which holds the first processing unit;a second holding unit which holds the second processing unit; anda distance change unit which, in a condition in which the first holding unit is holding the first processing unit and the second holding unit is holding the second processing unit, reduces and increases the distance between one processing unit and the medium in comparison with the distance between the other processing unit and the medium, wherein the distance change unit causes both the first processing unit and the second processing unit to rotationally move, and the rotational movement is a movement which takes the second processing unit farther from the medium when the first processing unit comes closer to the medium, and takes the first processing unit farther from the medium when the second processing unit comes closer to the medium.
