PURPOSE:To heighten the reliability of paper feeding by moving movable guides corresponding to the size of paper to be loaded to automatically form a paper trailing end position regulating member at a designated position so as to prevent failing to set the regulating member. CONSTITUTION:When movable guides 9 are moved to positions corresponding to letter size, a paper trailing end position regulating member, a pin 16 is projected over a paper placing surface inside the inner surface of fixed guides 4-3, 20, thereby forming a stopper for the trailing end of paper of letter size. When the movable guides 9 are moved to positions corresponding to A-4 size, the pin 16 is retreated outside the inner surface of the fixed guides 4-3, 20, so that when a cover 8 is closed, the hanging portion 8-2 thereof forms a stopper for the trailing end of paper of A-4 size. The trailing end stopper is thus formed, whereby paper multi-fed by a feed roller 2 and a reverse roller is assuredly separated to accomplish a reliable paper feeding operation. |
