Abstract
A skew correction device is configured to transport a medium through regular rotation of a resist roller and correct skew of the medium through reverse rotation or stoppage of the resist roller. The skew correction device includes the resist roller, a driven roller configured to transport the medium by nipping the medium together with the resist roller and correct skew of the medium, and a driving force transmission unit configured to transmit a driving force from a driving source to the resist roller, wherein the driving force transmission unit includes a torque limiter configured to regularly rotate the resist roller by transmitting a driving source from the driving source, and a clutch configured to perform switching between a state of regularly rotating the resist roller and a state of reversely rotating or stopping the resist roller.
