Abstract
A supply device includes: a supply roller that rotates around a first axis and supplies a medium; a rotary unit that rotates around a second axis in a determined direction to move the roller from a first position to a second position; a restriction part that, when the roller is at the first position, restricts rotation of the rotary unit in the determined direction; a member that rotates around a third axis; and a swing part that, when rotation of the rotary unit in the determined direction is restricted, swings in a first direction and makes the member separate the restriction part from the rotary unit to move the roller to the second position, and that, when the roller is at the second position, swings in a second direction and rotates the rotary unit in a direction opposite to the determined direction to move the roller to the first position.
