Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A medium ejection apparatus includes a placement mount on which media are placed, a restriction part that moves between a restriction position at which the restriction part restricts media ejected toward the placement mount and a retracted position retracted from the restriction position, and a processor that controls the restriction part by adjusting a restriction frequency on the basis of at least either an amount of movement of the restriction part from the retracted position to the restriction position or ejection intervals at which the media are ejected toward the placement mount, the restriction frequency being a frequency with which the restriction part performs a restriction operation for the media.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A medium ejection apparatus comprising: a placement mount on which media are placed; a restriction part that moves between a restriction position at which the restriction part restricts media ejected toward the placement mount and a retracted position retracted from the restriction position; a restriction driver that drives the restriction part; and a processor that is configured to control the restriction part by adjusting a restriction frequency on the basis of an amount of heat generation of the restriction driver and at least either an amount of movement of the restriction part from the retracted position to the restriction position or ejection intervals at which the media are ejected toward the placement mount, the restriction frequency being a frequency with which the restriction part performs a restriction operation for the media. 2. The medium ejection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the restriction part by adjusting the restriction frequency in a manner such that the restriction part performs the restriction operation for a last medium of the media.
