ABSTRACT:
An automatic document transportation device includes a shutter, a stopper and a shutter releasing mechanism. The shutter is provided at upstream of a document feed roller and suspended from a cover under a freely swinging state. The stopper is provided on a pickup arm, stops a swing of the shutter so that the shutter restricts a position of a leading edge of an original document on a document tray when the pickup arm is under a standby state, and releases the stop of the shutter when the pickup arm operates in a direction to make contact with the original document. The shutter releasing mechanism moves the pickup arm under the standby state in the direction to make contact with the original document.
