PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To certainly separate sheet P by changing an abutting angle between a separation tilting surface and an angle of the fed sheet P with respect to an abutting part in response to stiffness of the sheet P. SOLUTION: An auxiliary support plate 19 is connected to the central part of the sheet P in the width direction on the lower end side of a placing plate 12 via a leaf spring 48 so as to move back and tilt the lower end from the surface of the placing plate 12. On the surface side of the auxiliary support plate 19, a paper feeding roller 21 is turnably supported by an arm 24 turnable about a transmission shaft 20 lying on the upstream side of the paper feeding. The auxiliary support plate 19 moves back and tilts with respect to the surface of the placing plate 12 when a rotating force of the paper feeding roller is large against an energizing force of the leaf spring 48. When the sheet P has high stiffness, the lower end side of the auxiliary support plate 19 moves back, and an abutting angleβbetween the tip edge of the sheet P on the uppermost of the lamination and the surface of a fixing/separating plate 15 changes to an angle acuter than an abutting angleαof the sheet P with low stiffness to allow easy slip and separation.
