Abstract
A decoloring device according to an embodiment includes a decoloring unit configured to decolor an image on a sheet. A scanner optically reads the sheet and generates image data corresponding to the read sheet. A storage unit stores a first jam detection time and a second jam detection time, the second jam detection time being longer than the first jam detection time. A first sensor detects a sheet being transported in a first transport area. A second sensor detects a sheet being transported in a second transport area. A jam determination unit determines occurrence of a jam in the first transport area based on a detection by the first sensor compared to the first jam detection time, and determines occurrence of a jam in the second transport area based on a duration of a detection by the second sensor compared to the second jam detection time.
