Such a configuration enables the feed rollerand the screw guideto move to the guided positions of the spiral coilindicated by the diameter-of-coil-setting information. Accordingly, it is possible to pass the spiral coils having the different diameters thereof through the holes of the bundle of paper-sheets stably.
