Abstract
A transport section includes a first roller, a second roller, a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, a support unit, a main body, a door, and a third rotating shaft. The second roller nips a paper sheet together with the first roller. The first rotating shaft rotatably supports the first roller; the second rotating shaft rotatably supports the second roller. The support unit supports the first rotating shaft; the main body supports the support unit. The third rotating shaft allows the door to rotate. When the door is opened, the support unit moves the first rotating shaft to an escaped point. The escaped point of the first rotating shaft is further from the first roller positioned at the nip point than the nip point.
