An optical reader is provided. A transport section is capable of transporting a medium S which is a reading target in forward and backward directions along a transport path P. An optical reading section 111, 112 is installed in the transporting path P. The optical reading section 111, 112 optically reads the medium which is transported by the transport section. A control section 40 sets a transport direction of the medium S at the time of reading of the medium on the basis of a position of the medium before or when the reading of the medium is started and a reading position of the optical reading section 111, 112 such that a transport distance of the medium until the reading of the medium is completed is shortened, and controls the transport section and the optical reading section. |
