PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medium supply conveyor designed to make overlap conveyance less likely to occur.SOLUTION: A medium supply device comprises: a plurality of conveyor rollers (1a to 1e) aligned in a medium conveyance direction (+y direction) and by which mediums (13) arranged in a stack in a medium stacking position are conveyed in order from bottom; a motor (101); a main gear train by which drive force generated by the motor (101) via a plurality of clutches (107a to 107e) corresponding to the plurality of conveyor rollers (1a to 1e) is transmitted to each of the plurality of conveyor rollers (1a to 1e) as first torque; and a plurality of sub-gear train by which drive force generated by the motor (101) is transmitted to one or more conveyor rollers (1b to 1e) via one or more torque limiters (201b to 201e) as second torque weaker than the first torque.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 【課題】重送が発生し難い媒体供給装置を提供する。【解決手段】媒体供給装置は、媒体搬送方向（＋ｙ方向）に配列され、媒体積載位置に積載された媒体（１３）を下から順に搬送する複数のコンベアローラ（１ａ〜１ｅ）と、モータ（１０１）と、複数のコンベアローラ（１ａ〜１ｅ）に対応する複数のクラッチ（１０７ａ〜１０７ｅ）を介してモータ（１０１）で発生した駆動力を第１のトルクとして複数のコンベアローラ（１ａ〜１ｅ）の各々に伝達するメインギヤ列と、モータ（１０１）で発生した駆動力を１つ以上のトルクリミッタ（２０１ｂ〜２０１ｅ）を介して第１のトルクより弱い第２のトルクとして１つ以上のコンベアローラ（１ｂ〜１ｅ）に伝達するサブギヤ列とを備える。【選択図】図１１
