A paper discharge device includes a waiting path, one side of which is connected to an input port and another side of which is connected to a discharge port. A collection path has one side connected to the waiting path through a merged portion and another side connected to a collection chamber. Conveyance mechanisms disposed along the waiting path convey a paper which was conveyed through the input port to the discharge port in a forward direction, and convey, after lapse of a given period of time after conveyance of the paper to the discharge port, the paper in a reverse direction through the merged portion to feed into the collection path. The waiting path has a downward curvature between the merged portion and the discharge port.
