Abstract
A sheet transport device includes a sheet transport path along which at least one sheet is transported to a nip defined by a fixing roller and a displacement roller, a sensing unit disposed on the sheet transport path, an opening and closing member that is movable between a closed position at which the sheet transport path is formed and an open position at which the sheet transport path is exposed, and a guide member that is attached to the opening and closing member and that moves by following displacement of the displacement roller in such a manner as to maintain a certain distance from the sensing unit.
