Abstract
There is provided a recording apparatus including: a hopper which is swingably installed on which paper sheets are placed; a feeding roller which is rotatably installed in a downstream side of the hopper in a feeding direction and feeds the recording media; a media guide surface which is opposed to an outer peripheral surface of the feeding roller with a gap therebetween; a separating roller which is installed in a downstream side of the media guide surface in the feeding direction and separates the paper sheets through cooperation with the feeding roller, in which the shortest distance between the outer peripheral surface of the feeding roller and the media guide surface in the gap becomes long along with the rotation of the feeding roller during one rotation of the feeding roller.
