<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an open/close mechanism of a media feed path for feeding a sheet medium from a media insertion part, constituted of the small number of parts without requiring a large installation space. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A paper pressure member 26 and an open/close lever 27 of a check feeding device 9 can pivot horizontally on a first vertical support shaft 32 and a second vertical support shaft 33. When the paper pressure member 26 is caused to pivot and press against a delivery roller 25, a back end 27b of the open/close lever 27 is pushed by the paper pressure member 26, the open/close lever 27 pivots, and a front end 27a thereof retracts from a check feed path 23. Because the open/close lever 27 is urged in a pivot direction causing the front end 27a to enter the check feed path 23, when the paper pressure member 26 returns to the position not pressed against a delivery roller 25, the open/close lever 27 pivots in this urging direction and returns to the position where the front end 27a closes the check feed path 23.
