Abstract
A paper feeding mechanism includes a paper cassette, a feeding roller, a baffle, and a paper separating apparatus. The paper cassette stores stacks of paper. The feeding roller pulls a sheet of paper from the paper cassette and feeds the sheet of paper into a paper transport path. The baffle is located at a side of the paper cassette. The paper separating apparatus is mounted to the baffle and prevents more than one sheet of paper from being fed into the paper transport path at a time.
