Abstract
A paper feeding apparatus includes a driving shaft, a swing arm unit sleeved rotatably on the driving shaft, a pickup shaft disposed rotatably on the swing arm unit, and a device configured as an idle wheel unit or a damping gear. The device is interconnected between the driving shaft and the pickup shaft such that rotation of the driving shaft results in upward and downward pivoting movement of the pickup shaft, thereby allowing for paper loading and paper pickup, respectively.
