Transport apparatus

A recording portion which performs recording onto a medium;

• a supply path through which the medium is transported toward the recording portion;
• an upstream discharge path through which the medium on which recording is performed by the recording portion is transported;
• a non-reverse discharge path which branches from a branch position which is a downstream end of the upstream discharge path in a transport direction in which the medium is transported, and through which the medium is transported while a posture of the medium in a vertical direction is not reversed;
• a loading portion which loads the medium discharged by the non-reverse discharge path;
• a lower discharge path which branches and extends downward in the vertical direction from the branch position;
• a post-processing apparatus which receives the medium that passed through the lower discharge path and performs post-processing with respect to the medium;
• and
• a switching guiding portion which guides the medium by selectively switching the medium on which the recording is performed by the recording portion to be transported to any one of the non-reverse discharge path and the lower discharge path.
