A drive controlling unit causes an ascending and descending unit to lower a recording medium discharge tray, and then causes raising of the recording medium discharge tray until detection of the upper surface of the recording medium by an upper surface detection sensor. A determining unit determines whether a raising time of the recording medium discharge tray measured by a measuring unit is a predetermined abnormal time. When the raising time is determined by the determining unit not to be the abnormal time, the drive controlling unit causes the recording medium discharge unit to execute the subsequent recording medium discharge into the recording medium discharge tray. When the raising time is determined by the determining unit to be the abnormal time, the drive controlling unit causes the recording medium discharge unit to stop the subsequent recording medium discharge into the recording medium discharge tray. |
