Abstract
A pair of paper delivery side fences is provided within a paper delivery unit so as to approach each other and move away from each other. A drive unit drives the pair of paper delivery side fences so as to change an opposite interval defined therebetween. At this time, the size of a sheet of transfer paper discharged to the paper delivery unit is recognized and the interval defined between the pair of paper delivery side fences is set to an interval corresponding to the size of the transfer paper. Thus, the interval defined between the opposed paper delivery side fences can be automatically set according to the size of the transfer paper delivered to the paper delivery unit and hence workability can be improved.
