Abstract

A sheet is conveyed by a conveyor belt which attracts the back side of the sheet under vacuum along a conveyance passage including a bent portion. An air blower is provided to blow an air flow against the upper surface of the conveyor belt at the bent portion of the conveyance passage so that the sheet is bent along the surface of the conveyor belt.
