To provide a medium carrying device for processing a sheet-like medium at a high speed that includes a static eliminator semi-permanently usable without wearing.

The medium carrying device, which has a medium carrier path and a medium accumulating part to accumulate the medium conveyed along the medium carrier path, is provided a conductive static eliminating member that comes into contact with the medium to eliminate static electricity charged in the medium at the carrier path, which the static eliminating member holds a plate-like part that makes contact with the traveling medium,. The static eliminating member thus eliminates the static electricity in the medium and further allows the traveling direction of the medium to be changed.
