An electrostatic copying apparatus has a device for nipping a leading end of a strip of paper as paid off from a roll and for feeding the paper during the copying operation. A driving motor is provided for operating the apparatus, and the device includes a pair of feed rollers movable out of contact with one another, and a mechanism is provided for effecting such movement. A mechanism is also provided for actuating the moving mechanism, and the feed rollers, the driving motor and the actuating mechanism are so controlled as to maintain the rollers in contact with one another during the copying operation. The actuating mechanism is arranged for effecting movement of the rollers out of contact with one another during inoperation of the driving motor. |
