PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medium processing apparatus that can reduce waiting time going with switching of a processing object medium in an apparatus processing a plurality of kinds of processing object media, and to provide a method for controlling the medium processing apparatus.SOLUTION: A medium processing apparatus 1 that can connect an external apparatus 5 includes: a plurality of processing means 201 and 202 that can process different mediums respectively; a switching control means 101 that switches the processing means 201 and 202 of the control target according to a specification command to specify the processing means 201 and 202 of the control target from the external apparatus 5; and a storage means 103 to memorize when an error is generated in the processing means 201 and 202, the error. When receiving the specification command, the switching control means 101 refers to the storage means 103, and if there is a history that the error is generated in the processing means 201 and 202 of the switching destination, initializes the processing means 201 and 202 of the switching destination. |
