Abstract
A sheet paper transporting and aligning apparatus is provided with a sideline reference wall for aligning one side edge of a paper sheet before transporting it to a desired position. The apparatus is further provided with rollers which bring the paper sheet in contact with the reference wall. The apparatus is characterized by conveying the paper sheet in the direction away from the reference wall with a predetermined angle prior to engagement between the paper sheet and the rollers. This insures faultless paper sheet aligning operation and prevents occurrence of paper jamming.
