Abstract
A medium transporting apparatus including a paddle that comes in contact with a medium discharged on a first tray including an upstream end matching member and that rotates to move the medium towards the upstream end matching member, and a low frictional resistance member configured to switch between an advanced state advanced from outside a medium mount region of the first tray to a first region, and a retracted state retracting from the first region to an outside of the medium mount region. The low frictional resistance member is, after a first medium is mounted on the first tray, switched from the retracted state to the advanced state, and is interposed between the first medium and a second medium when, after discharging the first medium, moving the second medium discharged from a pair of discharge rollers towards the upstream end matching member with the paddle.
