    摘要: A medium transport device include: an inclination corrector including a first inclination correction member and a second inclination correction member disposed away from each other in a width direction of a medium, the first inclination correction member and the second inclination correction member being individually drivable during transport of the medium, the inclination corrector being configured to correct an inclination of the medium relative to a transport direction of the medium by causing a difference in the transport of the medium between the first inclination correction member and the second inclination correction member; and a medium transporter disposed on a downstream side of the inclination corrector in the transport direction and configured to transport the medium, the medium transporter including a pair of medium transport members disposed across the medium in a thickness direction of the medium, the medium transport members being movable between a transport position where the medium transport members nip and transport the medium and a non-nipping position where a nip of the medium is canceled. During correction of the inclination of the medium by the inclination corrector, the medium transporter is moved to the non-nipping position.
