Claim 11:
12. 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 moving to allow an end portion opposite to an end portion closer to the transport member to open the transport path,
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.
