Abstract

A sheet delivery mechanism for delivering a sheet such as a stimulable phosphor sheet from a sheet storage unit such as a cassette or a magazine to a sheet feed system, includes suction cups movable toward and away from the sheet stored in the sheet storage unit for removing an end of the sheet from the sheet storage unit, and a feed roller pair movably disposed between the suction cups and the sheet feed system, the feed roller pair being movable toward the suction cups for holding the end of the sheet removed from the sheet storage unit, and then operable to feed the sheet to the sheet feed system.
