A paper feeding device includes a plurality of horizontally juxtaposed paper cassettes for containing papers. The feeding device includes a plurality of paper feeding mechanisms respectively corresponding to the paper cassettes, and each of the paper feeding mechanisms includes a separation/feeding unit for feeding papers from the paper cassette in a feeding direction. The separation/feeding unit corresponding to an upstream paper cassette of the upstream side is arranged at least partially above a paper receiving section of a downstream paper cassette to conserve space.
