Abstract: A medium transport device includes a first roller that transports a medium in a transport direction, and a control unit that controls the first roller. The control unit rotates the first roller at a first speed when the first roller transports a first medium. When a rear end of the first medium is located downstream of the first roller in the transport direction and a leading end of a second medium transported subsequently to the first medium is located upstream of the first roller in the transport direction, the control unit can perform a deceleration control of decelerating the first roller to a second speed slower than the first speed.

Abstract: There is provided a processing apparatus including: a processing unit that performs a predetermined process on a medium; a placement unit on which the medium is placed in a first posture; a medium feeding unit that feeds the medium from the placement unit toward the processing unit; and a feed unit that is detachably disposed on the placement unit. The feed unit causes the medium to be placed in a second posture which is different from the first posture. The first posture is a posture in which a surface of the medium is placed along a placement surface of the placement unit, and the second posture is a posture in which sides of a plurality of media are brought into contact with the placement surface of the feed unit.
