ABSTRACT:
A sheet transporting device includes: a sheet feeding cassette; a transporting unit that transports the sheet from the sheet feeding cassette; a swing member including a swing position, which changes among a first state in which the sheet feeding cassette is separated, a second state in which the sheet feeding cassette is mounted and the sheet is not transported, and a third state in which the sheet is transported; a detecting unit that detects whether the swing position of the swing member is in the second state; and a control unit, wherein when the detecting unit detects that the swing position of the swing member is in a state other than the second state within a predetermined time interval from the time that the transporting unit extracts the sheet from the sheet feeding cassette, the control unit determines that the swing position is in the third state.
