Abstract

A transport device includes a body unit, an accommodating unit that accommodates a recording medium and is mounted to be reciprocal with respect to the body unit, a pair of guide members that come in contact with end portions, in a width direction, of the recording medium to position the recording medium, the width direction intersecting with a transport direction of the recording medium, a first rail that is attached to the accommodating unit and guides reciprocation of the accommodating unit, and a second rail that is attached to the body unit to be movable in a direction, which intersects with a reciprocation direction of the accommodating unit, the second rail being assembled to the body unit to be slidable with respect to the first rail.

Dependent claims

A transport device comprising:

a body unit;
an accommodating unit configured to accommodate a recording medium,
wherein the accommodating unit is mounted to be reciprocal with respect to the body unit;
a pair of guide members configured to contact end portions of the recording medium to position the recording medium, wherein each one or the pair of guide members extends along an axis parallel to a transport direction of the recording medium;
a first rail that is attached to the accommodating unit and,
wherein the first rail is configured to guide reciprocation of the accommodating unit;
a second rail that is attached to the body unit,
wherein the second rail is configured to be movable in a direction, which intersects with a reciprocation direction of the accommodating unit, the second rail being assembled to the body unit to be slidable with respect to the first rail;
and
