Abstract
A paper sheet carrying apparatus is provided that can remove a sheet remained in a path due to paper jam, etc. using a simple mechanism if a sheet remains in any one of two sheet paths or straddles both paths. A sheet path of a first unit is linked to that of a second unit by a linking device and a control mechanism is included that sends to the device and discharges a sheet stopped carrying from the path of the first unit to that of the second unit. When a sheet exists in the path of the second unit, it is carried in opposite direction to the linking device. When a sheet straddles both paths of the first and second units, it is carried to the linking device concurrently in forward direction in the path of the first unit and in opposite in that of the second unit.
