Abstract
A guide plate is arranged in spaced parallel relation with a recording head. A pinch roller and a paper conveyer roller are arranged upstream of the guide plate with respect to a paper feeding direction. The pinch roller takes an entrance position to provide a state wherein the rollers most easily catch paper sheet. After the rollers have caught the paper sheet, the pinch roller is displaced to take an exit position to provide a state wherein the roller deflect the paper sheet towards the guide plate.
