Abstract
A document feeding apparatus having a document feed unit adapted to feed documents, which are placed on a stacked document feed tray, sheet by sheet toward a document glass plate in an exposure unit. An auxiliary document feed tray is turnably housed in the document feed tray. The auxiliary document feed tray is turned so as to project over the stacked document feed tray when the documents are fed sheet by sheet by hand so that the front end portion of the auxiliary document feed tray narrows a document feed port of the document feed unit to render the stacked documents difficult to be inserted thereinto.
