ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus including an automatic feeding mechanism for picking up one of recording media placed on a feed tray one by one and feeding the recording medium is provided. The automatic feeding mechanism includes: the feed tray on which a predetermined number of recording medium can be placed; a hopper for pushing the recording media on the feed tray toward a feed roller; and a separator located in a downstream of the hopper near the hopper. The automatic feeding mechanism picks up the recording media one by one in an order from an uppermost recording medium to a lowermost recording medium and feeds the recording medium thus picked to its downstream by an action of the feed roller and the hopper to sandwich and transfer the recording medium and a separating action of the separator. The automatic feeding mechanism can be rotated around a fulcrum of rotation so as to be foldable.
