Abstract:
A medium transport device includes a medium guide member, a driving source, a first movement member, a movement restricting member, and a second moving member. The medium guide member is movable between a first guide position, in which the medium guide member guides a medium toward a receiving member on which the medium is loaded, and a second guide position, in which the medium guide member guides the medium from the receiving member into the device. The driving source moves the medium guide member. The first movement member moves the medium guide member in accordance with an operation of the driving source. The movement restricting member is movable together with the medium guide member. The second moving member is movable between a first position, in which the second moving member is located close to the movement restricting member to restrict the medium guide member from moving from the second guide position to the first guide position, and a second position, in which the second moving member is spaced apart from the movement restricting member to allow the medium guide member to move to the first guide position. The second moving member moves from the first position to the second position when the medium guide member moves toward the first guide position in response to an operation of the driving source.
