A de-skew mechanism, in an image forming device, with a correcting member disposed in a rotatable manner to the rotary shaft and turning with driving roller by a spring between them. A torque spring suppresses the turning of the correcting member to correct the skew of the medium. When conveyed, the medium will butt against the correcting member to be stopped and corrected. The medium conveying force and the force that the spring brings to the driving roller are sufficient for turning the correcting member and passing therethrough. At one time, the force that the correcting member brings to the medium will reduce to zero. As such, the medium will not be damaged by the correcting member while being conveyed.

A paper feeding mechanism for carrying a paper passing through a scanning station having a scanning module includes a partition, a paper transporting device, and a switching member movably disposed corresponding to one end of the partition. A first paper feeding channel is formed between the partition and the scanning station, and a second paper feeding channel is formed on another side of the partition. The paper transporting device carries the paper passing over the side of the partition through the first paper feeding channel with a first page of the paper facing the scanning module. Then, the paper is flipped for a second page of the paper facing the scanning module. The switching member can be selectively moved for guiding the paper passing through the first paper feeding channel or the second paper feeding channel.
