Abstract
A sheet-by-sheet paper feeding structure includes a sheets separating plate and a pressure plate. When a pile of paper is fed into the paper feeding structure, a front end of the pile urges against the sheets separating plate, which is in turn pressed by a press leg of the press plate above so that the sheets of paper are checked from displacing forwardly. The press plate further includes elastic plates having elastic plate press legs that help keep the sheets of paper flat and stable during feeding. A lowermost sheet of the pile is in direct contact with a roller of a facsimile machine or printer or the like. When the roller rolls forwardly, it will only bring the lowermost sheet to advance forwardly while the rest of the pile is being checked by the sheets separating plate.
