An inkjet recording device includes a movement unit configured to move a recording medium or a placement part for placing the recording medium thereon; a detection unit configured to continuously detect movement of the recording medium or the placement part; and a control unit configured to control the movement unit and the detection unit. The detection unit includes a gripping unit having a gripping part for gripping the recording medium or the placement part and a detection part for continuously detecting movement of the gripping unit. The gripping unit is configured to move in conjunction with the movement of the recording medium or the placement part by gripping the recording medium or the placement part by the gripping part. The control unit is configured to control the movement of the movement unit on the basis of a detection result by the detection part when the gripping unit is moved.

A sheet discharging device includes a shift tray 202 on which a sheet P1 is stacked, a discharging roller 6 that discharges a sheet P2 onto the shift tray 202, a blowing device 230 that sends air to a lower surface of the sheet P2 discharged by the discharging roller 6, a blocking member 231 that blocks air sent to the lower surface of the sheet P2 from a blowing port 230-2 of the blowing device 230, and a control unit that controls the blocking amount of the blocking member 231. The blocking amount is determined based upon sheet information including sheet-type information, sheet-size information, and sheet-thickness information, for example.
