Abstract
A sheet feed arrangement having an upstream first and downstream second rollers for defining a part of a sheet feed path therebetween. A first sheet detector is disposed upstream of the first roller and a second sheet detector is disposed downstream of the second roller. These detectors transmit sheet detection signals when the sheet passes therealong. The detection signals are transmittable to a control unit. The control unit is connected to a first roller drive motor and stops rotation thereof if the sheet detection by the first detector is finished whereas a leading end of the sheet has not yet been detected by the second detector. If desired, the first roller is reversely rotated to discharge the sheet toward the upstream or sheet inlet side.
