Abstract:
1. An automatic image reading apparatus comprising a paper feeding apparatus wherein the paper feeding apparatus includes: a document feeding tray for stacking documents; a fixed guide disposed as a standard of position adjustment of the documents at one side of the document feeding tray so as to face in an orthogonal direction against a document transporting direction; a pick-up roller disposed within the smallest document width of a plurality of transportable document sizes for picking and feeding the documents; a separate roller disposed in the downstream of the pick-up roller and located within said smallest document width; and a first feed roller disposed in the downstream of the separate roller, wherein a distance between the fixed guide and a center of the first feed roller in terms of the orthogonal direction against the document transporting direction is longer than a distance between the fixed guide and a center of the separate roller in terms of the orthogonal direction against the document transporting direction.
