Abstract
According to one embodiment, the guide roller, which faces the sorting gate mediated by the conveyor belt and guides the travel of the conveyor belt, and the position determination unit, which gives an elastic bias to the guide roller and positions it to the predefined position, are provided. The guide roller receives a pushing pressure from documents that are held and conveyed by the conveyor belts and then retracts from the predefined position while resisting the bias of the position determination unit.
