Abstract

See full text

A follow roller nips a sheet with a discharge roller. The follow roller is harder than the discharge roller. A paddle is rotatable together with the follow roller. The paddle includes protrusions and recesses arranged alternately in a circumferential direction of an axis of the follow roller. Each of the protrusions protrudes farther radially outward than an outer circumference of the follow roller to contact the sheet. Each of the recesses is recessed radially inward between two of the protrusions adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. A groove is located between the follow roller and the paddle in a width direction parallel to a direction in which the axis extends. The groove is located at a same position as an end of the discharge roller in the width direction. The groove is recessed one round farther radially inward than the outer circumference of the follow roller.
