Abstract
A scanner having a medium transport device has: a medium placement section disposed so as to be exposed to the outside of a cabinet, the medium placement section having a placement surface on which paper to be transported is placed; a supply roller that feeds the paper in a transport direction by being rotated while in contact with a surface of the paper, the surface facing the placement surface; and a two-dimensional sensor disposed in the medium placement section. The two-dimensional sensor has a light emitting section that can emit light toward the paper placed in the medium placement section, and also has a light receiving section that can receive reflected light from the paper. The light receiving axis of the light receiving section intersects part of the cabinet.
