Thus, the arm can support the paper leaves until immediately before they are handed over to the separating/supplying belt, which eliminates the occurrence of the falling-down of the paper leaves at the paper-leaves feeding position. In addition, the feeding control of the paper leaves are accurately implemented by the over-press detection of the paper leaves or the thickness detection of the paper leaves.
