Transportation device and recording apparatus

摘要

A transportation device includes a transportation unit that transports continuous paper, and an image capturing unit that has a light irradiator capable of irradiating the continuous paper which is transported by the transportation unit with light and detects a transportation amount of the continuous paper based on reflected light of the light irradiated onto the continuous paper by the light irradiator. The light irradiator is arranged so as to irradiate the continuous paper with light obliquely with respect to the detection region of the continuous paper from the width direction side of the continuous paper, which is orthogonal to the transportation direction of the continuous paper.

1. A transportation device comprising:
a transportation unit that transports a transportation target material; a transportation target material supporting portion that has a supporting surface supporting the transportation target material which is transported by the transportation unit; a light irradiator that is capable of irradiating the transportation target material which is transported by the transportation unit with light; and a detector that detects a transportation amount of the transportation target material based on reflected light of the light irradiated onto the transportation target material by the light irradiator, wherein the light irradiator is arranged so as to irradiate the transportation target material with the light obliquely with respect to a surface of the transportation target material from a width direction side of the transportation target material, which is orthogonal to a transportation direction of the transportation target material, and the detector is arranged at the transportation target material supporting portion.
