Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a medium transportation device including an uneven roller of which a surface coming into contact with a medium is provided with a plurality of protrusions and recesses, a facing roller nipping the medium together with the uneven roller, and a claw portion guiding the medium to be separated from the uneven roller. A non-uneven region in which the protrusions and recesses are not formed along a circumferential direction is formed at a portion of the uneven roller in an axial direction and the claw portion faces and the non-uneven region.
