Abstract
A sheet guide for a small printer whose record sheet inserting inlet opens when a record sheet is being inserted to the printer and closes to a minimal extent after the record sheet is being inserted so as to prevent foreign matter or the like from entering. In the event of trouble, such as jamming of sheets or entering of foreign matter, the sheet guide is easily removable to allow the cause of trouble to be eliminated. A sheet guide (inner) 67 is rotatably and releasably mounted on a shaft 12a of a sheet forward roller unit through elastically deforming engaging sections 67c, 67d.
