1. A post-processing device comprising:
a post-processing section that is configured to move over a mounting section on which a medium is mounted in a first direction and that executes post-processing on the medium mounted on the mounting section;
a driving section that moves the post-processing section in the first direction when supplied with a current or a voltage from a power supply; and
a controller that controls an operation of the post-processing section and an operation of the driving section, wherein
the controller is configured to execute
a first control to move the post-processing section in the first direction by supplying a set current or a set voltage set from the power supply to the driving section,
a second control to hold a position of the post-processing section in the first direction by supplying, to the driving section, a supply current with the same value as a value of the set current or a supply voltage with the same value as a value of the set voltage, and
a third control to stop the supply of the supply current or the supply voltage to the driving section, and
when the post-processing is executed at a first position and a second position different from the first position in the first direction on the medium,
the controller executes the second control and the third control at the first position and causes the post-processing section to execute the post-processing during the execution of the second control and
the controller executes the third control and does not execute the second control at the second position.
