Abstract
A recording sheet is sequentially fed by the transfer roller pairs, first and second feeding roller pairs and a belt conveyor. The feeding speed V of the transfer roller pairs including variation is set to be slower than the feeding speed V of the feeding roller pairs. The feeding speed V of the belt conveyor including variation is set to be faster than that of the feeding roller pairs. When the recording sheet is transferred to the first feeding roller pair from the transfer roller pairs, one-way clutches in the transfer roller pairs are actuated, to race the transfer roller pairs at the feeding speed V . Before the recording sheet passes the second feeding roller pair completely, the recording sheet is fed at the speed V with the leading end portion thereof being slipped on the belt conveyor.
