Abstract:
1. A transport device comprising: a transport unit configured to transport a paper sheet; a cutter unit configured to cut the paper sheet; and a controller configured to, when transport of the paper sheet in the vicinity of the cutter unit is to be halted, control the transport unit so that the transport unit transports the paper sheet by a longer travel when a specified length of the paper sheet is shorter than a threshold length than when the specified length of the paper sheet is longer than the threshold length, wherein the cutter unit is configured to cut the paper sheet, transported by the transport unit, at the ideal cut line where a resulting cut sheet has the specified length, wherein the transport unit comprises: wherein the controller is configured to switch between a first transport control operation and a second transport control operation, wherein the controller is configured to, in the first transport control operation, if a timing of the second transport section causing the leading end of the paper sheet to halt comes before a timing of the first transport section causing the paper sheet to halt to place the ideal cut line at the cutter unit, control the second transport section to cause the leading end to halt in accordance with the length of the paper sheet while controlling the first transports to cause the paper sheet to halt before the ideal cut line reaches the cutter unit, and wherein the controller is configured to, in the second transport control operation, control the second transport section to cause the leading end to halt while controlling the first transport section to transport the paper sheet until the cut line reaches the cutter unit and then control the transport of the paper sheet to halt.
