Abstract
A document sheet conveying unit of the invention comprises a casing in which are mounted an active roller, a plurality of idle rollers, and at least a guide element. The idle rollers are mounted in a manner to be respectively in circumferential contact with the active roller. The guide element is mounted proximate to one of the idle rollers, and has a guide surface with a prolonged plane that is tangent with the corresponding idle roller at its contact point with the active roller. The guide surface thereby orients and guides the document sheet to adequately engage through the active roller and corresponding idle roller. Jam of the document sheet is therefore prevented.
