Abstract
A first in-feed roller () and a pressure roller () are disposed to the first check storage unit () of a check processing apparatus (). A first pressure member () that is urged toward the first in-feed roller () is pivotably attached to the pressure roller (). When a check () is conveyed and the check () moves completely passed the nipping position (A) of the first in-feed roller (), the trailing end () part of the check () is pressed by the first pressure member () to the first in-feed roller (). The check () is thus dependably fed into the check storage unit, the trailing end () of the check is pushed sideways by the first pressure member (), and the trailing end () will not interfere with the next check ().
