In an automatic paper feed device having a platen and a paper bail arranged to be brought into and out of contact with the platen, the paper bail is further constituted to be brought into contact during a paper is fed in an predetermined amount, and to be brought out of contact during the paper is further fed. The shift operation of the paper bail is controlled by a release mechanism including a driven gear arranged to be rotated with the platen and an intermittent gear arranged to be brought engagement in a predetermined range of angle. Thus, it is possible to design the release mechanism freely since the paper is preliminarily fed without shifting the paper bail.
