PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a sheet from being electrostatically charged by comprising an earth piece contacting with a rear end of the sheet for earthing the sheet, on a side part. SOLUTION: A pair of inlet rollers 2, a conveying roller 3 and a large conveying roller 5 are rotated to convey a sheet P conveyed from an image forming device body and having an image on it. A flapper 11 is rotated by the action of a solenoid, and conveys the sheet P to a non-sort path 21. When a sensor 33 detects a rear end of the sheet P, a roller 9 is rotated at a speed suitable for loading, and feeds out the sheet P onto a sample tray 201. A rear end of the fed-out sheet P is received by an earth piece 216 to be earthed, and the static electricity charged on the sheet P is discharged. Accordingly the adhesion of the sheets P to one another can be prevented, and the sheets P can be easily separated one by one. Further an user can be prevented from receiving the shock by the static electricity when the user grasps the sheet P. |
