Abstract:
A transport roller for a printing apparatus transports a medium. The transport roller includes a shaft that extends in a direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium, and a wheel group in which a plurality of toothed wheels arrayed in the direction in which the shaft extends are held by holders. The toothed wheel includes non-formation portions having no teeth. The non-formation portions of the plurality of toothed wheels of the wheel group are arranged with an interval therebetween in a circumferential direction of the toothed wheels. The non-formation portions are cut portions that are formed when the toothed wheel is cut off from a base. The teeth other than the teeth adjacent to the cut portions are arranged away from each other at regular intervals in a circumferential direction of the wheel group.

Claim (Index 2):
The transport roller according to  claim 1 , wherein the wheel group satisfies the following relationships between a first distance, a second distance, and a third distance, which are measured when the wheel group is viewed in the direction intersecting the transport direction:\n first distance third distance; and second distance<third distance, where the first distance is a cumulative distance of arcs in a state in which a plurality of the cut portions are present within a range of each of the arcs when the arcs are arranged without overlapping each other along a circumference of an imaginary circle connecting vertices of the teeth of the toothed wheel, the arcs each having a predetermined central angle along the circumference,\n the second distance is a cumulative distance of the arcs in a state in which a plurality of the cut portions are not present within the range of each of the arcs when the arcs are arranged without overlapping each other along the circumference, and \n the third distance is a distance obtained by dividing a total circumferential distance of the toothed wheel by the number of the cut portions of one of the toothed wheels.
