Abstract
A medium transport device includes a medium mounting portion, a feeding roller configured to feed a first medium, a separation roller configured to separate the first medium and a second medium, a transport roller pair configured to transport the first medium sent from the feeding roller, and a driving mechanism configured to drive the separation roller. The driving mechanism causes the separation roller to rotate in a second rotational direction and applies a rotational load having a first load value to rotation of the separation roller in a first rotational direction, and switches, after a leading edge of the first medium passes through the transport roller pair and before a trailing edge of the first medium passes through between the feeding roller and the separation roller, a rotational load applied to the separation roller to a second load value that is lower than the first load value.
