Abstract (en)

A recording medium carrier device (2) includes: an endless belt (21); a plurality of carrier rollers (23, 24, 25) for revolving the belt; a detection section (7) for detecting its own displacement amount in a pathway along the belt (21); a calculation section (8) for calculating carried distance of a recording medium based on a detection result of the detection section (7); and a controller (8). The detection section includes: a base (72); a scale section (74); a sensor (75); a switching section (76); and a driver (77) including: a drive source (771); a transmission mechanism (772) for transmitting power of the drive source (771) to the scale section (74); and a release section (773) for releasing power transmission between the drive source (771) and the transmission mechanism (772). The release section (773) releases the power transmission between the drive source (771) and the transmission mechanism (772) when the switching section (76) engages the belt (21) and the scale section (74), and stops the release when the switching (76) section disengages the belt (21) and the scale section (74).
