PURPOSE: To prevent any skew from occurring in an effective manner, by installing a slip layer, being low in a frictional factor, on an outer circumferential surface of an elastic body, attaching rollers of a guide roller to a shaft so as to be rolled as one body.
CONSTITUTION: Symmetrical two rollers 11 and 11 tightly attached to a shaft 12 of a guide roller 10 install an elastic body 11 so as to be rotated solidly with the shaft 1, and a slip layer 14 is formed on the outer circumferential surface.When paper is fed, a platen is pressed under elasticity with these rollers 11 and 11 and the paper is held between in a gap with the platen, while other side rollers 11 and 11 properly slip between the platen and the paper at the slip layer 4, thus symmetrical balance in a feed rate of the paper is kept up all the time.
