1. A transport device comprising: a first transport member that transports a sheet-shaped medium in a transport direction; a transport path that is formed by a first guiding member which is disposed on a downstream side of the first transport member in the transport direction and on a first surface side of the transported medium to guide the medium in the transport direction and a second guiding member which is disposed on a second surface side of the transported medium which is on a back side of the first surface to guide the medium in the transport direction, at least one of the first guiding member and the second guiding member including a widened part on a downstream side of a processing position and on an upstream side of a second transport member, wherein a widening for the widened part begins at location on the downstream side of the processing position; a pressing member that presses the medium to the first guiding member; a processing unit that performs a processing on the medium which is transported in the transport path on a further downstream side in the transport direction than the pressing member; and a second transport member that is disposed on the downstream side of the processing position where the processing unit performs the processing on the medium, and transports the medium, which is guided by the first guiding member and the second guiding member, in the transport direction.
