1. A transport apparatus comprising:
a transport mechanism that transports a medium manually inserted to feed the medium in a transport direction, and that includes feed rollers rotating to transport the medium;
a medium setting detection sensor that is arranged upstream relative to the feed rollers in the transport direction and spaced apart from the feed rollers in the transport direction, and that detects the medium; and
a control unit that
changes a wait time depending on a type of the medium, the wait time being a time from when the medium setting detection sensor detects the medium and to when the feed rollers start transporting the medium,
waits for a changed wait time that has been changed, after the medium is manually inserted, and
starts transporting of the medium after waiting for the changed wait time after changing the wait time,
the control unit changing the wait time by setting the wait time for the medium for which an error during transport has occurred consecutively twice or more in a predetermined time to a longer time than the wait time for the medium for which an error during transport has not occurred consecutively twice or more in the predetermined time.
