Abstract: A medium feeding apparatus includes a medium supporting portion supporting a medium, a feeding roller that feeds the medium, a separation portion configured to advance and retreat with respect to the feeding roller, a path forming member that is a member positioned upstream in a medium feeding direction with respect to a contact position between the feeding roller and the separation portion, that is configured to advance and retreat with respect to the feeding roller, and that is configured to narrow a medium feeding path directed toward the contact position, and a first pressing portion pressing the path forming member toward the feeding roller, in which the path forming member displaces the separation portion in a direction away from the feeding roller when the path forming member is pushed down in a direction retreating from the feeding roller by a medium having a thickness exceeding a predetermined thickness.

Abstract: A medium feeding device includes: a medium mounting section that a medium is mounted; a feeding unit that feeds the medium in a feeding direction; a separation unit that separates the medium with the feeding unit; an operation detection unit that is disposed at a position facing a surface of the medium in the medium mounting section and detects a movement of the medium in the feeding direction; an interval forming unit that forms an interval in the feeding direction between a trailing end of a first medium which is the lowest medium fed among media mounted on the medium mounting section and a trailing end of a second medium which is bound with the first medium and stacked on the first medium; and a control unit that stops feeding of the medium based on a detection interval by a detection value of the operation detection unit.

Abstract: A medium feeding apparatus includes a feed roller that feeds media. A separation roller nips the media together with the feed roller to separate it and is rotated in a first direction to feed the media. A motor applies driving torque to the separation roller in a second direction opposite to the first direction. A torque limiter, when rotation torque applied to the separation roller in the first direction exceeds a preset upper torque limit, causes the separation roller to rotate at idle in the first direction independently of the driving torque. During feeding operations, including feeding of first and second media, a controller that controls the motor provides a break period in which the motor is not driven. The break period contains the timing when a rear edge of the first medium leaves a nip position between the feeding and separation rollers.
