The present disclosure involves systems and methods for performing automatic document alignment. One example system includes a document staging area including an alignment surface extending in a document feed direction; an alignment roller supported to rotate about an axis and intermittently contact a document in the document staging area while rotating to move the document to abut the alignment surface; and a feed roller support to rotate in the document feed direction to feed the document in the document feed direction after the alignment roller has rotated to move the document to abut the alignment surface.
