Abstract

See full text

A paper feeding apparatus of the present invention, in which it is adapted such that a paper tray holding plural sheets of paper in a pile is supported by a fulcrum for rotation round the same and the paper tray is rotated by a paper setting mechanism so that the topmost copy paper of the paper held in the paper tray is brought into abutment with a feed roller and fed to a printing portion. As the drive power source of the paper setting mechanism and the feed roller, a constituent of a paper feeding mechanism, is used only a single motor rotatable in both normal and reverse directions. The normal or reverse rotation of the motor is selectively transmitted by a drive gear mechanism to the paper setting mechanism or the paper feeding mechanism, and thereby, it is made possible to selectively drive either the paper setting mechanism or the paper feeding mechanism using only a single motor. Thus, it is made possible to make the apparatus smaller and to reduce the cost of parts.
