PURPOSE: To suppress the generation of the oblique running or jamming of a sheet by shortening the unstable feed distance up to the feed means in a supply route by providing a plurality of the follower means pressed to the feed means to follow to the supply route and a feed route.
CONSTITUTION: In a facsimile device, crescent-shaped supply rollers 10, 11 separate the uppermost recording sheets among the recording sheets P on cassettes 8, 9 to supply them and subsequently feed the recording sheets P so as to wind them round a feed roller 12. In this case, a lower guide 13 is provided to the lower part of the feed roller 12 and a first supply route E is constituted along with the feed roller 12 by the guide surface 13a of the lower guide 13. A reversal guide 15 is provided in opposed relation to the guide surface 13b and a second supply route F is constituted by guide surfaces 13b, 15a and a feed route G is constituted by the guide surface 15b of the reversal guide 15 and the feed roller 12 formed on the downstream side of the confluent point of the supply routes E, F and feed rolls 14, 16 are respectively provided to the feed routes E, G as follower means.
