Sheet feeding apparatus and method

摘要

Sheet feeding apparatus comprises a sheet feed device (10) which cooperates in use with a sheet store to feed sheets to and/or from the sheet store. The sheet feed device has at least one resilient portion (37) which flexes against its resilience relative to the remainder of the sheet feed device in response to contact with a sheet in the sheet store. A monitoring system (1,2) monitors the degree of flexure of the resilient portion.
