Abstract
A transportation apparatus includes a transportation section that transports continuous paper in a transportation direction intersecting with a shaft direction of a transportation roller. An imaging section includes plural photoreceptor elements and captures an image of the continuous paper transported by the transportation section. The photoreceptor elements are arranged in a first direction and a second direction, the first direction intersecting with the shaft direction, and the second direction intersecting with the first direction. A transportation amount acquisition section acquires a transportation amount of the continuous paper in the transportation direction on the basis of the image captured by the imaging section. The transportation amount acquisition section acquires the transportation amount of the continuous paper by correcting a movement amount of the continuous paper in the first direction with a correction value that changes in accordance with orientation of the first direction.
