Abstract

A sheet of recording material is fed along a sheet guide defining an at least partially curved transport path until a leading edge of the sheet contacts a first of at least two alignment pins defining an alignment line and sheet feeding is continued until the leading edge contacts a second alignment pin whereby the distance of the transport path of the sheet is allowed to change and the entirety of each sheet of recording material does not contact the sheet guide during feeding of said sheet.
