To provide a sheet guide capable of suppressing the variation of a sheet path or the like as compared to the conventional.SOLUTION: A sheet guide 50 comprises a first guide member 85 and a second guide member 85d sandwiching a first transport path 54a for a sheet, in which at least the first guide member 85 can be changed in position. The first guide member 85 and the second guide member 85d are configured in one body so as to be changed in position. By providing a third guide member 90 sandwiching a second transport path 51a together with an opposite face 85b of the first guide member 85 to the second guide member 85d, a transport path for sheet acceptance may be changeable over between the first transport path 54a and the second transport path 51a through a position change of the first guide member 85 and second guide member 85d.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】シートの軌道などのバラツキを従来に比して抑制できるシートガイド装置を提供する。【解決手段】シートの第一搬送経路５４ａを挟む第一ガイド部材８５と第二ガイド部材８５ｄとを備え、少なくとも第一ガイド部材８５の姿勢変更が可能なシートガイド装置５０において、第一ガイド部材８５と第二ガイド部材８５ｄとを一体にして姿勢変更が可能なように構成する。第一ガイド部材８５の、第二ガイド部材８５ｄとは反対の面８５ｂとともに、第二搬送経路５１ａを挟む第三ガイド部材９０を設け、第一ガイド部材８５及び第二ガイド部材８５ｄの姿勢変更により、シートを受け入れる搬送経路を第一搬送経路５４ａと第二搬送経路５１ａとの間で切替可能にしてもよい。【選択図】図１
