Abstract
A medium transport apparatus includes a controller that determines how many transport roller pairs disposed on a medium transport route are transporting a medium, based on detection information from detectors disposed in relation to respective transport roller pairs. Then, the controller sets a threshold to a larger value as a larger number of transport roller pairs are transporting the medium and sets the threshold to a lower value as a smaller number of transport roller pairs are transporting the medium.
