PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a mark formed on continuous paper even when the behavior of the continuous paper is disturbed according to the start of conveying it, and to sufficiently secure a printing area on the continuous paper after stabilizing the behavior during continuous carrying. SOLUTION: A medium conveying apparatus includes: a conveying means that conveys a recording medium P that extends long continuously in one direction, a conveying direction of the recording medium being the same as the one direction; a detecting means that detects a detection subject mark M formed on the recording medium P conveyed by the conveying means; and a moving means that moves the detecting means in a direction that crosses the conveying direction of the recording medium P. The detection subject mark M is formed so that it is present in a plurality of positions on the recording medium along the direction in which the recording medium extends long continuously and so that the mark width in the direction that crosses the conveying direction changes as the position goes along the conveying direction.
