A sheet transporting device having a plurality of sheet pay-out mechanisms. A pick-up mechanism is associated with each of the pay-out mechanisms and carries rollers therewith. The pick-up mechanism draws out a sheet from the associated pay-out mechanism and then bodily rotates to accommodate the sheet in a collection mechanism. Such a procedure is repeated the number of times corresponding to the number of pick-up mechanisms existing in the device. Hence, despite that the device has a plurality of pay-out mechanisms, it is possible to collect all the sheets in a single collection mechanism and drive them out collectively to the outside of the device via a single outlet.
