Summary:A transport device includes a medium carrying unit on which a medium having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface is superposedly wound in a cylindrical shape so as to form a roll body, the second surface being oriented so as to form an inner circumferential surface in the roll body, a route defining portion fixed in a curved shape so as to guide the medium such that the second surface is oriented to the inner side of the curve, and a slave roller that nips the medium in collaboration with a transport roller so as to deform the medium such that the second surface becomes oriented to the outer side of the curve, the slave roller being located downstream of the route defining portion in the transport direction of the medium.
