Abstract:
1. A transportation device comprising: a transportation unit that transports a transportation target material; a transportation target material supporting portion that has a supporting surface supporting the transportation target material which is transported by the transportation unit; a light irradiator that is capable of irradiating the transportation target material which is transported by the transportation unit with light; and a detector that detects a transportation amount of the transportation target material based on reflected light of the light irradiated onto the transportation target material by the light irradiator, wherein the light irradiator is arranged so as to irradiate the transportation target material with the light obliquely with respect to a surface of the transportation target material from a width direction side of the transportation target material, which is orthogonal to a transportation direction of the transportation target material, and the detector is arranged at the transportation target material supporting portion.
