Abstract
A sheet stopping structure includes a sheet pick-up arm, a sheet guide casing and a sheet stopper. A receiving recess is formed in the sheet guide casing. Two sliding slots are respectively formed in two sidewalls of the receiving recess. The sheet stopper is installed in the receiving recess, and movable along the two sliding slots. When the sheet pick-up arm is in a standby position, the sheet stopper is maintained in an upright status and protruded outside the surface of the sheet guide casing. When the sheet pick-up arm is lowered to a sheet pick-up position, the sheet stopper is rotated and then stopped down within the receiving recess.
