Device and method for taking out sheets

摘要

A sheet takeout device includes a takeout belt (6) brought into contact with a sheet set in a takeout position to generate negative pressure to adsorb the sheet, and traveled in a direction of an arrow T, and a separation roller (26) which separates second and following sheets associatively taken out with the sheet. Triggered by detection of its leading end at a second sensor (25), an opposite-direction separation force is applied to the sheet (P) to be conveyed via the separation roller (26).
