Abstract
A medium transport apparatus includes: a feed unit feeds a medium to a transport direction; a first detection unit disposed upstream of the feed unit, and detects movement of the fed medium; a second detection unit disposed downstream of the first detection unit and detects an inclination of the medium; and a control unit detects the inclination of the medium based on a signal of the second detection unit and stop transfer of the medium when the inclination exceeds a threshold value, and the plurality of the threshold values have a relationship such that when a medium length in the transport direction is a second length being shorter than a first length, a relatively higher value is produced than in a case in which the medium length is the first length, and the control unit selects a threshold value based on a detection value of the first detection unit.
