Further, since the separation claws 15 and 16 are located at a position higher than the paper feed roller 8, the paper PP is prevented from contacting the separation claws 15 and 16 when the paper PP is replenished. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the separation claws 15 and 16 from being damaged when the sheet PP is supplied. Also,
The separation claws 15 and 16 need only have strength enough to buckle the corners of the sheet PP at the time of sheet feeding and separate the sheets.
There is also an advantage that the strength required for Nos. 5 and 16 can be reduced, and therefore inexpensive parts can be used and the cost can be reduced.
