<p>A copying machine capable of copying a large-size document original on a transfer sheet, in which the transfer sheet is prevented from being biasedly transported. A bypass transportation path D4 is provided for transporting a cut-sheet to a photoreceptor drum 20. The transportation path D4 is provided with a resist roller 39 and a transportation roller 33. A cut-sheet inserted from a manual sheet feeding section 30 is stopped with the leading edge thereof being abutted against the resist roller 39, so that the leading edge of the cut-sheet is aligned with a line perpendicular to a transportation direction. Thereafter, the cut-sheet is transported by the resist roller 39 and the transportation roller 33. At this time, the circumferential speed of the resist roller 39 is set lower by a predetermined degree than that of the transportation roller 33. Thus, a predetermined tensile force is constantly applied to the cut-sheet transported from the resist roller 39 to the transportation roller 33, thereby preventing the cut-sheet from being biasedly transported. <IMAGE></p> |
