ABSTRACT:
A paper feeding device for image forming equipment effectively uses the space available in the equipment and thereby accommodates a greater number of paper sheets in successive paper storing stages without the equipment being increased in height. A first paper storing section is loaded with a stack of paper sheets in a position where a paper feeding arrangement is capable of feeding the paper sheets. A second paper storing section adjoins the first paper storing section on the side opposite to the paper feed side of the first paper storing section. A paper end sensor senses paper sheets stacked on the first paper storing section. A paper shifting mechanism shifts paper sheets stacked in the second paper storing section collectively to the first paper storing section. A controller controls the paper shifting mechanism such that when the paper end sensor determines that paper sheets are absent inthe first paper storing section, the mechanism shifts paper sheets from the second paper storing section to the first paper storing section.
