Abstract
A transport apparatus includes an idler roller and a drive roller that transport a medium by rotating with the medium being nipped therebetween, a first frame that includes a first position and a second position that is different from the first position, a main guide shaft that extends in a transverse direction that intersects a transport direction of the medium and is joined to the first frame at the first position, a second frame that is joined to the first frame at the second position, and an urging member that exerts a force on the second frame by urging the idler roller toward the drive roller. In the transport apparatus, the first position is located in an overlapping region between the first frame and the second frame in a height direction that orthogonally intersects the transport direction and the transverse direction.
