Abstract
A recording sheet moving device includes: a moving unit that moves a recording sheet; a recording sheet specifying unit that specifies a length in the transport direction and a weight per unit area of the recording sheet; a first memory configured to record, for each of plural recording sheets, a threshold for a length in the transport direction in association with a weight per unit area; and a movement control unit that retrieves a threshold for a length on the basis of the specified weight per unit area from the first memory, and compares the retrieved threshold for a length and the specified length, to determine whether to cause the moving unit to move the recording sheet, and if it is determined that the recording sheet should be moved, causes the moving unit to move the recording sheet.
