PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medium feeder capable of eliminating any friction resistance between both ends of a medium to be fed and each guide means when feeding the medium. SOLUTION: The medium feeder comprises a first moving means 20 for moving a first guide means 11 interlockingly with the rocking of a rocking means 81 so as to be brought into contact/separated with/from one end of the medium, and a second moving means 30 for moving a second guide means 12 interlockingly with the movement of the first guide means so as to be brought into contact/separated with/from the other end of the medium. Both ends and each guide means are brought into contact with each other, for example, in a non-feed mode or in the initial feed mode of the medium, while each guide means can be separated from both ends in the ending feed mode of the medium. Thus, the friction resistance of both ends with each guide means in the ending feed mode of the medium can be eliminated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
