A media processing device enables reading second media that do not bend easily from the device front with the same ease of use as processing first media that bend easily. The media processing device 1 has a media conveyance path P1 that guides first media S1 inserted from a media insertion opening 4a toward the back and then again toward the front on the front-back axis to the media exit 5a. A straight conveyance path p13 that angles to the inside on the device width axis is formed at a part connected to the media exit 5a, and a second media insertion path 15 that extends straight to the front from the straight conveyance path P13 is connected to the media exit 5a.
