Abstract: A medium transport apparatus includes a controller that determines how many transport roller pairs disposed on a medium transport route are transporting a medium, based on detection information from detectors disposed in relation to respective transport roller pairs. Then, the controller sets a threshold to a larger value as a larger number of transport roller pairs are transporting the medium and sets the threshold to a lower value as a smaller number of transport roller pairs are transporting the medium.

Abstract: When a transport section transports be a media, a controller of an image reading apparatus determines the lengths of the media in the transport direction, based on detection results of a medium detector. When determining that a length of a medium is equal to or more than a threshold and then determining that a length of a subsequent medium is equal to or more than the threshold, the controller decreases an ejection speed of the subsequent medium to a second speed by the transport section. When determining that a length of a medium is equal to or more than the threshold and then determining that a length of a subsequent medium is less than the threshold, the controller decreases the ejection speed from the first speed to a third speed that is lower than the second speed by the transport section.
