Abstract
A sheet guide surface is provided with an air intake port through which a circumferential portion of a fan rotor of a fan for drawing air radially inwardly through the air intake port projects above the sheet guide surface so that the sheet is drawn onto the sheet guide surface at the position of the air intake port while contacting the circumferential portion of the fan rotor thereby being applied with a flexible driving force in the sheet transfer direction due to the rotation of the fan rotor.
