1. A transport device, comprising:
a transport member that transports a recording medium while adjusting a leading end of the recording medium; and
a guide member that is disposed upstream from the transport member in a transport direction of the transport member to guide the recording medium to the transport member along a transport path, the guide member being rotatable in a direction to open the transport path while having a downstream portion in the transport direction of the transport member serving as an axis,
wherein the transport member has a first rotation axis around which it rotates, the guide member has a second rotation axis around which it rotates, and the second rotation axis is located outside a diameter of the transport member, and
wherein the guide member extends in a vertical direction, is fixed in an operation position with a positioning portion at a lower end portion exerting a hitting force, and has a center of gravity located to exert a moment of rotation in a direction to open the transport path about the axis when the hitting force is released.
