Abstract:
To provide a paper feeding device that can stably feed a recording media of an angle bottomed envelope or the like with a non-uniform thickness in which defects such as feeding failure, oblique feeding, dog ears and paper jamming or the like are not generated, a paper feeding device of the present invention includes a bottom plate 41 that sends up a recording media stacked thereon to a paper feeding position, a feeding device 24 that feeds an uppermost piece of the recording media sent up to the paper feeding position in which an auxiliary member 50 with a curved surface is disposed at least within a width directional area occupied by the paper feeding device 24 and atop an upper surface of the bottom plate 41, a height from each point of the curved surface of the auxiliary member 50 to the bottom plate 41 is non-uniform.
