Paper supply device for an electrostatic photographic printer

A rotary body capable of holding the leading edge of a sheet is disposed after delivery rollers disposed on one side of a housing. The rotary body is rotated to place sheets one after another in a pile after turning-over each sheet. Since the sheets are turned over by the agency of the rotary motion of the rotary body, only a small space is necessary for providing a mechanism for turning-over the sheet.
