To provide a medium transfer device that addresses reduction in transfer burden and damage on post-recording medium being transferred on an inversion route and also addresses restriction of upsizing of the device, and a recording device equipped therewith.SOLUTION: A medium transfer device 5 provided in a printer 1 includes: a curvature route 20 where post-recording paper is reversed in a curved manner; a plurality of first ribs 30 that are extended in a medium transfer direction in a recording area facing a recording head 15, are provided at intervals in a width direction intersecting the medium transfer direction, and form cockling on the paper; a plurality of second ribs 33 that are provided at an outside curvature part 20a of the curvature route 20; and a plurality of third ribs 34 that are provided at an inside curvature part 20b of the curvature route 20. The plurality of second ribs 33 and the plurality of third ribs 34 are provided at positions corresponding to a mountain part T and a valley part V of the cockling of the paper formed by the plurality of first ribs 30 in the width direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】反転経路を搬送される記録後の媒体の搬送負荷及びダメージの低減と、装置の大型化の抑制と、の双方に考慮された媒体搬送装置、及びこれを備える記録装置を提供する。【解決手段】プリンター１に設けられる媒体搬送装置５は、記録後の用紙が湾曲反転される湾曲経路２０と、記録ヘッド１５と対向する記録領域において、前記媒体搬送方向に延設されるとともに、前記媒体搬送方向と交差する幅方向に間隔を空けて複数設けられ、用紙にコックリングを形成する第１リブ３０と、湾曲経路２０の外側湾曲部２０ａにおいて複数設けられる第２リブ３３と、湾曲経路２０の内側湾曲部２０ｂにおいて複数設けられる第３リブ３４と、を備え、複数の第２リブ３３及び複数の第３リブ３４は、前記幅方向において、複数の第１リブ３０によって形成された用紙のコックリングの山部Ｔと谷部Ｖに対応する位置に配置される。【選択図】図９
