Abstract
A paper feeding apparatus associated with a printer for storing a plurality of individual recording media and for controlling the release of individual recording media from a storage device toward a platen of the printer. A transmission mechanism couples rotation of the platen in a counterclockwise direction which rotates the paper feeding rollers in a clockwise direction for releasing the individual recording media from the storage device. Rotation of the platen in a clockwise direction halts rotation of the paper feeding rollers preventing further release of individual recording media from the storage device while rotating auxiliary paper feeding rollers in a counterclockwise direction for advancing the individual recording medium toward the platen. A release lever disengages the paper feeding rollers and auxiliary paper feeding mechanism to permit use of continuous print media.
