Conventionally, in an automatic paper feeder (cut sheet feeder) mounted on a printer, the paper feeding operation is performed by driving the paper feeding roller by the motor of the automatic paper feeding apparatus, and the paper ejection operation is performed by the printer. It is performed by a discharge roller driven by rotation of the roller. That is, in FIG. 6, the paper feed roller 102 and the paper discharge roller 104 are connected by a belt or the like not shown, and the paper discharge roller 104 is rotated by the rotation of the paper feed roller 102. In this case, as the printing progresses, the paper is sent from the contact point between the first pinch roller 106 and the paper feed roller 102 to the paper discharge roller 104 side, but the paper discharge operation is performed while sandwiching the paper between the two paper discharge rollers 104, 104. Therefore, if the paper feed roller 102 and the paper discharge rollers 104 and 104 are not synchronized, there is a drawback that the paper sags between the paper feed roller 102 and the paper discharge rollers 104 and 104. In FIG. 6, 108 is a printer, 110 is an automatic paper feeder, 112 is a head, and 114 is a second pinch roller.

Next, when the trailing edge of the paper 14 reaches the contact point between the paper feed roller 52 and the first pinch roller 54, the drive of the paper feed roller 52 is stopped. At this time, the motor 22 starts to rotate in the reverse direction, and B in the figure
Begins to rotate in the direction. This rotation is transmitted to the paper discharge pulley 38 via the first belt 34, the first paper feed pulley 32, the second paper feed pulley 36, and the second belt 40, and the paper discharge roller 8 rotates in the F direction in the drawing. . When the discharge roller 8 rotates in the F direction in the figure, the second
Due to the tension of the belt 40, the paper discharge roller 8, the relay plate 60, and the second belt 40 are integrally pulled down in the G direction in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the upper surface 10 of the rib 2 is
The paper 14 is inserted between the paper ejection roller 8 and the peripheral surface 12 of the paper ejection roller 8, and the paper ejection roller 8 rotates while pressing the paper ejection roller 8 to feed the paper 14. When the paper 14 is advanced and the rear end of the paper 14 comes into contact with the paper discharge roller 8 (FIG. 5 (c)), the paper discharge roller 8 slides in the lower end direction G of the guide groove 16 by its own weight and descends. The discharge roller shaft 6 is locked to the lower end of the groove 16. Due to the lowering of the paper discharge roller 8, the rear end of the paper 14 is successfully discharged.
