ABSTRACT:
A pickup member forwards a document at a forwarding position where the pickup member is brought in contact with a bunch of stacked sheets, and is retracted from the forwarding position after the leading end of the document is forwarded. Before the rear end of the document previously forwarded passes through the pickup member, the pickup member is moved to the forwarding position and positioned thereat for forwarding the following document. A rotative member of a pair of separating members is rotated with a first velocity to transport a document forwarded by the pickup member to a downstream side, and a transport member is rotationally driven with a second velocity to further forward the document transported from the separating member to the downstream side. A pressing member of the pair of separating members presses the document against the rotative member with a first pressing force when the document is transported with the first velocity, and further presses the document with a second pressing force when the document is transported with the second velocity by the transport member whereby the documents being transported are separated.
