To provide a media carrier device which can compensate medium skew and suppress skew-compensated medium from skewing again.SOLUTION: A media carrier device 90 includes a first carrying roller pair 91 and a second carrying roller pair 35 that carry a medium M, and a control part. The control part can execute: a first action in which the medium M is formed with a deflection of a predetermined deflection amount between the first nip portion 92 and the second nip portion 93 in a state where a first nip portion 92 nips the medium M, so that a tip Ma of the medium M follows the second nip portion 93; and a second action in which the deflection formed by the first action is released when the nip of the first nip portion 92 is released after the first action is completed. The control part, when executing after executing the first action, the first action again after completion of the second action and the second action, makes the deflection amount in the first action executed after completion of the second action smaller than the amount of deflection in the first action executed immediately before.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】媒体の斜行を補正するとともに、斜行を補正された媒体が再び斜行することを抑制することができる媒体搬送装置を提供する。【解決手段】媒体搬送装置９０は、媒体Ｍを搬送する第１搬送ローラー対９１と第２搬送ローラー対３５と、制御部と、を備える。制御部は、第１ニップ部９２が媒体Ｍをニップした状態で、第２ニップ部９３に媒体Ｍの先端Ｍａが倣うように、第１ニップ部９２と第２ニップ部９３との間で、媒体Ｍに所定の撓み量の撓みが形成される第１動作と、第１動作の終了後に第１ニップ部９２のニップを解除することで、第１動作により形成された撓みが開放される第２動作と、を実行可能であり、制御部は、第１動作を実行した後に、第２動作及び第２動作の終了後に再び第１動作を実行する場合には、第２動作の終了後に実行する第１動作における撓み量を、直前に実行した第１動作における撓み量よりも少なくする。【選択図】図３
