A cut-sheet feeder (10) has a feed belt (63), a belt contact amount adjuster (20), and an inclined guide member (73). The belt (63) makes contact with the lowermost cut sheet (S) of a stack of cut sheets (G) and feeds forward the cut sheet (S). The belt contact amount adjuster (20) supports the stack of cut sheets (G) while lifting the read portion thereof from the feed belt (63). The inclined guide member (73) protrudes further upward than the belt contact amount adjuster (20) and has a guide surface (73M) inclined forwardly downward. The guide surface (73M) lifts up the rear end portion of the stack of cut sheets (G) and shifts forward the lowermost cut sheet (s). The position of the adjuster (20) in the front-rear direction and the position of the guide member (73) in the front-rear direction can be adjusted individually. |
