A printing apparatus includes a discharge unit and a tray. The discharge unit discharges a recording medium printed by a print unit in a first direction. The tray includes a supporting surface that supports the recording medium discharged from the discharge unit, a protruding portion that forms part of the supporting surface and that protrudes in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a convex portion that is provided on the supporting surface and that protrudes upward from the supporting surface. The convex portion is formed on an inner side of the protruding portion in the second direction and overlaps the protruding portion in the first direction.

A paper sheet storage container capable of accurately taking out paper sheets one-by-one. A paper sheet group is held by a paper sheet placing table and holding members, while the paper sheet placing table is being biased upward by an elastic member so that the position of an uppermost paper sheet of the paper sheet group placed on the paper sheet placing table is substantially the same position as the positions of holes through which air flows. In this state, in the paper sheet storage container, air is blown from a side to the uppermost paper sheet of the paper sheet group placed on the paper sheet placing table thereby allowing the uppermost paper sheet to be brought into a state in which the vicinity of the center thereof has been raised.

A predetermined frame includes a main frame part and a drum arrangement part. Winding drums are disposed in a drum arrangement part. Relay pulleys includes a first relay pulley disposed in the drum arrangement part, for a first wire to wrap around, a second relay pulley disposed on the same axis as the first relay pulley, outward of the first relay pulley, for a second wire to wrap around, and a third relay pulley disposed in the main frame part, for the second wire to wrap around. The drum arrangement part is positioned inward of the main frame part.
