Abstract
A sheet material guiding mechanism for guiding the edge portion of sheet material comprises a movable side guide capable of sliding corresponding to the sizes of sheet material, and being fixable in any position within the sliding area; a sheet guide section provided for the movable side guide in order to regulate the position of sheet material by butting against the edge of the sheet material; and an inner-side operating section provided for the movable side guide, being capable of releasing the fixed condition of the movable side guide by depression, hence making it possible to provide a sheet material guiding mechanism having a simple structure at lower costs, and producing the suppression effect against the skew of the sheet material with the easy operation that copes with disability.
