Abstract
A sheet transport device includes a sheet transport unit, a detector, and a releasing unit. The sheet transport unit transports a sheet by nipping the sheet in a nip between multiple pairs of transport rollers arranged in a sheet width direction intersecting a sheet transport direction. The detector detects a size of the transported sheet. The releasing unit releases the nip of one or more of the pairs of transport rollers outside a transport region of the sheet based on the size of the sheet detected by the detector.
