Abstract
A paper feeding apparatus includes: a pickup roller that pulls out, on a one-by-one basis, sheets stacked on a paper feeding cassette; a paper feeding roller that sends, to a conveyance path, a sheet pulled out by the pickup roller; a separation roller that abuts on the paper feeding roller and prevents double feeding of the sheets; a roller arrangement space in which the pickup roller, the paper feeding roller, and the separation roller are arranged; a work space that communicates with the roller arrangement space and is for taking out the pickup roller, the paper feeding roller, or the separation roller; a guide portion that closes the work space so that the sheet can pass through the work space and guides the sheets stacked on the paper feeding cassette to the conveyance path; and a roller cover that is arranged in the guide portion and exposes the work space. The roller cover is arranged slidably in an insertion and removal direction of the paper feeding cassette.
