PURPOSE:To prevent an original from being broken and displaced by providing a driving mechanism which moves a couple of guide plates in a relative approaching/leaving direction and a control means which controls the driving mechanism on the basis of the setting of a setting means and a setting means for setting original sizes. CONSTITUTION:A couple of guide plates 4a and 4b are provided near the original insertion slot 2 of an automatic original feeder 1 movably at right angles of an original feed direction, and those guide plates 4a and 4b engage side edges 6a and 6b extending in the feed direction of an original 5 to position and guide the original 5. Then, the driving mechanism 11 moves a couple of guide plates 4a and 4b in the relative approaching and leaving directions, a setting means has a setting button 10 for setting original size, and the control means controls the driving mechanism 11 for the relative movement corresponding to the original size set by the setting means. |
