ABSTRACT:
An automatic document feeder includes a document-loading device that loads a plurality of sheets of a document thereupon. A document-receiving device is arranged below the document-loading device and receives and stacks sheets of the document one by one, which have been transported from the document-loading device. A sheet-guiding device guides transportation of a sheet of the document from the document-loading device to the document-receiving device. A sheet-transporting device transports a sheet of the document one by one along the sheet-guiding device from the document-loading device to the document-receiving device. An open-and-close cover covers and exposes an upper portion and a side of the sheet-guiding device and the sheet-transporting device. A rotative connecting device connects the open-and-close covering device and the body of the automatic document feeder at a rear part thereof such that the open-and-close cover opens upward in a direction perpendicular to a sheet-transporting-direction by the sheet-transporting device.
