<p>PURPOSE:To prevent stains due to friction between sheets during separation and conveyance of the sheets for double-side/multiple recording. CONSTITUTION:When a feeding roller 11 is rotated, a sheet P, which is loaded on an intermediate tray 5, is conveyed downstream while it is held between a pressing member 10 and the roller 11. At this time, by making the tip of a bundle of sheets except the one sheet lying at the bottom of the bundle abut on an auxiliary separating member 27, only the sheet P lying at the bottom of the bundle can be separated from the rest and introduced into a nipping part between a conveying roller 12a and a retard roller 12b.</p> |
