Abstract: When a printer switches a transport driving roller (a motor) from regular rotation to counter rotation in order to perform a skew correction mode, a planetary gear moves toward a mesh position from a separation position. A movement amount of the planetary gear at this time is set to be smaller than a movement amount to reach the mesh position from the separation position. As a result of this, it is possible to prevent a circumstance in which the planetary gear reaches the mesh position during the execution of the skew correction mode, that is, a circumstance in which a driving force is transmitted to a rear feeding device, and a sheet of paper is unintentionally fed from the rear feeding device as a result.
