Transport device and recording device

A recording device comprising:

• a main body;
• a loading section configured to stack a medium;
• a transport roller configured to transport the medium stacked on the loading section;
• a recording section configured to record an image on a medium transported by the transport roller;
• a separation roller opposed to the transport roller and separating the medium one sheet at a time;
• a rotation shaft to which is attached the separation roller;
• and
• a movable guide member configured to guide the medium between the transport roller and the separation roller, to be aligned with the separation roller in a shaft direction of the rotation shaft, and to be movable in the shaft direction, wherein
• the separation roller is attachable to and detachable from the rotation shaft by moving in the shaft direction, and
• by moving in the shaft direction, the movable guide member is displaced between a guide position at which the medium is guided and a retracted position at which the separation roller is movable in the shaft direction with respect to the rotation shaft,
• wherein,
• the loading section is attached to the main body so as to be insertable into and removable from the main body, when the loading portion is inserted into the main body, and
• the loading portion comes into contact with the movable guide member located at the retracted position, thereby displacing the movable guide member to the guide position.
