<p>The invention provides a paper feeding device which can reduce noise volume when paper is fed with multiple sections, and an image forming device. Paper feeding devices (120, 130, 140) disposed at the lower section of an image forming device body (150) in multiple sections are respectively provided with a drive source for paper-feeding rollers (38, 39, 40) and clamping rollers (20-22). Each paper feeding device respectively comprises first drive force transmission mechanisms (121, 131, 141), second drive force transmission mechanisms (122, 132, 142), first electromagnetic clutches (B, D, F) and second electromagnetic clutches (A, C, E) which are exclusively controlled. When recording medium is moved into the image forming device body from the regulated paper feeding device, the second electromagnetic clutch of the paper feeding device is in connection status and the other second electromagnetic clutches are disconnected. The drive source driving the paper feeding device drives the paper feeding roller, at the same time, the second drive force transmission mechanisms drive all the clamping rollers (20-22), and all the recording medium is moved into the image forming device body.</p> |
