ABSTRACT:
An input apparatus of the invention can selectively receive at least one sheet medium or an envelope containing a sheet medium therein. The apparatus includes a transfer path for transferring at least one medium and an envelope, a width guide disposed in the transfer path to restrict a width of the transfer path according to one selection among media input and envelope input, and a separation device situated adjacent to the transfer path. The width guide sets a media transfer width in the transfer path when the media input is selected, and the width guide leaves the transfer path when the envelope input is selected. The separation device transfers the at least one medium and the envelope, and moves in a direction to increase the thickness of the transfer path to allow the envelope to pass through the transfer path when the envelope input is selected.
