Feeding device and image forming apparatus

A feeding device comprising:

• a supply unit that supplies air between a plurality of stacked media and that floats the media;
• a feeding unit that makes the media floated by the supply unit stick thereto and that feeds the media;
• a separating unit that supplies the air obliquely downward to a front surface side of a second medium positioned immediately below a first medium stuck to the feeding unit from a downstream side to an upstream side in a medium feeding direction and that separates the second medium from the first medium;
• and
• a blasting unit that is a separate body from the separating unit, that blasts the air obliquely downward to the front surface side of the second medium from the downstream side to the upstream side in the medium feeding direction, and that has a pressure applied to the second medium through air blasting higher than a pressure applied to the second medium through air supply by the separating unit.
