Abstract
A media feeding apparatus includes a media table on which a medium is placed; a pick roller disposed above the table to feed the medium on the table; a pressing member to apply a downward pressing force to the roller; and circuitry that controls the table to be raised to press the medium toward the roller when a leading end of the medium does not reach a predetermined position within a predetermined time from start of feeding the medium or when a moving speed of the medium during feeding is equal to or lower than a predetermined speed. The roller is moved from a first position to a second position higher than the first position when the table is raised. The pressing member does not apply the force to the roller at the first position and applies the force to the roller at the second position.
