Abstract
A medium feed apparatus includes a first support face and a second support face. The first support face supports a medium fed by a feed unit that feeds medium by supporting such that the medium adopts an inclined orientation. The second support section is positioned upstream of the first support face in a feed direction, and supports the medium together with the first support face. The second support face is at a position set back from the first support face, and an angle of inclination from a lower end portion to an upper end portion of the second support face is steeper than an angle of inclination of the first support face.
