Abstract
A document transport device includes a transport unit that transports documents one by one to a position where an image is read by an image reading unit and transports the document at a speed at which the image reading unit can read the image at the image reading position, and a controller that determines, based on an instruction from an image forming apparatus to which the document transport device is mounted, the number of sheets transported per unit time when plural documents are transported by the transport unit, and controls the transport unit to transport the documents at the determined number of sheets transported per unit time.
