PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small and inexpensive paper feeder which surely prevents idle feeding even if a paper residual quantity reduces.SOLUTION: A suction chamber 5 is arranged inside a plurality of belts 3 juxtaposed above a paper feeding tray 1, paper is sucked to the belts 3 by sucking air from the opening of the under surface of the suction chamber 5, and the sucked paper is sent out by revolvably driving the belts 3. A paper lifting member 40 is arranged in the paper feeding tray 1. When the paper residual quantity reduces, a paper bundle P is lifted by the paper lifting member 40, and the uppermost paper is approached to the belts 3. With this constitution, even if the interval between the mutual paper increases in response to reduction in the paper bundle P, paper feeding can be continued without idly feeding of the paper. |
