To reduce the possibility of sheets butting against each other.SOLUTION: Above a loading part (32) that a sheet is loaded on, there provided is rotatable guiding means (61) that has: a first guiding part (61a) that guides the underside of the sheet transported by a transporting means (29); and a second guiding part (61c) that faces the loading part in such a condition that the first guiding part is guiding the underside of the sheet. The controlling means controls driving means so as to rotate the guiding means in the condition where the rear end of the leading sheet transported by the transporting means is positioned on the upper side of the first guiding part, thereby moving the rear end of the leading sheet from the upper side of the first guiding part to between the second guiding part and the loading part and causing the following sheet transported subsequent to the leading sheet by the transporting means to pass the upper side of the first guiding part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11
