Abstract
A medium feeding apparatus includes a driving portion that drives a feeding roller, an arm portion that supports the feeding roller, and a displacement portion that can come into contact with the arm portion. The arm portion displaces the feeding roller between a contact position and a separation position. The contact position is a position where the feeding roller comes into contact with the medium, and the separation position is a position where the feeding roller is separated from the medium. The displacement portion rotates the arm portion to displace the feeding roller from the separation position to the contact position by using forward rotation power from the driving portion, and rotates the arm portion to displace the feeding roller from the contact position to the separation position by using reverse rotation power from the driving portion.
