Sheet supplying apparatus

摘要

The present invention provides a sheet supplying apparatus comprises a sheet supporting means for supporting sheets, a supply rotary means for feeding out the sheets supported by the sheet supporting means, a separation member for separating the sheets fed by the supply rotary means one by one by elastically changing an inclination angle of the separation member when the sheets fed by the supply rotary means abut against and ride over the separation member, and a sheet guide member removably disposed above the sheet supporting means and adapted to guide the sheet in such a manner that the sheet is subjected to resistance of the separation member smaller than resistance from the separation member to the sheet when the sheets are supplied from the sheet supporting means. <IMAGE>
