A drive transmission mechanism of a sheet transportation apparatus of the present invention comprises an upstream transportation roller gear and a planet gear for transmitting a first driving force from a driving source to the upstream transportation roller gear, and a release mechanism for preventing the upstream transportation roller gear and the planet gear from engaging with each other. The release mechanism prevents the engagement of the planet gear and the upstream transportation roller gear when the driven gear is driven to reversely rotate by a second driving force. The release mechanism prevents the engagement by moving a release member before the planet gear and the driven gear engage with each other. The release mechanism moves the release member by the driven gear being reversely rotated by the second driving force which is a driving force other than the driving source. This makes it possible to realize a drive transmission mechanism of a sheet transportation apparatus comprising a release mechanism capable of releasing the engagement of the driven gear and the drive gear for transmitting the driving force from the driving source to the driven gear, without the need of reversely rotating the driving source or the fear of impairing the driving force from the driving source.

A document feeder includes a document placing portion, a pick-up roller, a pair of feed rollers, a pair of registration rollers, a document sensor, a moving mechanism, and a control portion. The pick-up roller can move between a sheet feeding position where the pick-up roller contacts with the upper surface of the document placed on a placement surface and a standby position where the pick-up roller does not contact with the upper surface of the document placed on the placement surface. The document sensor detects a document between the feed rollers and the registration rollers in a document feed direction. The moving mechanism moves the pick-up roller up and down. The control portion moves the pick-up roller up to the standby position at a timing when the leading edge of the card document reaches the document sensor in a card document mode in which card documents are successively fed.

In the context of a structure wherein outer casing(s) is/are disposed so as to permit opening and closing about shaft(s), stopper member(s) and engagement piece(s) engaging with such stopper member(s) being disposed at such outer casing(s) so as to permit independent displacement in pivoting fashion about shaft(s) for each thereof, one end(s) of arm member(s) is/are supported by outer casing(s) so as to permit displacement in pivoting fashion, and shaft(s) of stopper member(s) is/are secured to other end(s) of such arm member(s). In addition, when bottom region(s) of stopper member(s) in engaged state(s) with engagement piece(s) abuts or abut and is/are pressed upward by original(s) loaded in original tray(s) during closing of outer casing(s) which had at least immediately prior thereto been in open state(s), this causes other end(s) of arm member(s) to be displaced upward in pivoting fashion, in accompaniment to which stopper member(s) is/are lifted upward.

A sheet carrying device has a mechanism that prevents a sheet from being fed backward into a carriage path after once discharged from the device, and the sheet carrying device includes a carriage surface that guides a sheet, a reverse roller attached to a rotation shaft of a sheet discharging portion, whose rotation direction is switchable between forward and backward, and a backward-feed prevention valve that prevents an edge of a discharged sheet from entering into a nip portion of the reverse roller, and the backward-feed prevention valve includes a resin sheet and an elastic member disposed at one end on the sheet discharging side of the resin sheet, and the elastic member has one surface supported by the rotation shaft of the reverse roller and the other surface pressing the resin sheet against the carriage surface.

When a first elapse time Δt3 from time point t1 of stop of a transport motor reaches a first specified time S1, a registration roller electromagnetic clutch is engaged. At time point t2 at which the first elapse time Δt3 reaches 50 ms, normal rotation of the transport motor is started. At time point t3 at which a second elapse time Δt4 from the time point t2 reaches a second specified time S2 (a given length of time), a reverse roller electromagnetic clutch is switched from an engaged state to a disengaged state, rendering reverse rollers and sheet discharge rollers freely rotatable. At subsequent time point t4, a coil of a solenoid is de-energized, to separate the reverse rollers from each other.

A sheet feeder device is provided with a pick-up roller driving section which is operative to position the pick-up roller into a retracted position spaced a predetermined distance apart from a stack of document sheets on a document tray before and after the operation for feeding the series of document sheets, into a sheet feed position in which the pick-up roller abuts against the stack of document sheets for feeding the document sheets at an occasion of feeding of each of the document sheets in the operation for feeding the series of document sheets, and into the standby position above and close to the height of a stack of a maximum load number of document sheets carried on the document tray during a period from a point in time just after feeding of one sheet to a point in time just before feeding of a succeeding sheet.
