PURPOSE:To perform auxiliary paper feed without excessive space by providing an auxiliary paper feed opening and an auxiliary paper feed cassette attachment hole in the bottom surface of a copying machine. CONSTITUTION:A copying machine body A is mounted on a frame C and fed with copying forms (a) from two paper feed cassettes 11A and 11B. The auxiliary paper feed cassette B is attached by being hooked at the bottom surface of the copying machine which does not face the frame C in order to increase paper feeding capability and supply copying forms of different sizes for interruptive copying. A paper feeding unit 26 plies the copying paper (a) from the cassette B through the paper feed opening of the bottom surface of the copying machine body. The driving force of the paper feeding unit 26 is obtained by allowing a gear to engage the driving gear of the copying machine body A when the cassette B is attached, or by providing and connecting a motor independently and electrically. |
