Abstract
An automatic document feeding apparatus for feeding a document to a flatbed scanner to conduct the scanning processes. The automatic document feeding apparatus includes an upper body, a lower body, a feeding path and at least a linkage set. The linkage set is able to uphold the upper body separated completely from the lower body. In this case, the spaces left between the upper body and the lower body is relatively wide for users to clear the jammed document. Further, the linkage set comprises plastic pad for providing stopping resistance to maintain said upper body at a certain distance above the lower body.
