    摘要: A sheet feeding device includes: a sheet stacker that stores a sheet in a stacked state; a separating air blower that blows air to a sheet from a leading end side in a sheet feeding direction of the stacked sheet; a floating air blower that blows air to a sheet from both sides of a sheet end orthogonal to the sheet feeding direction of the stacked sheet; an attractor that attracts an uppermost sheet that has been floated; a blow direction switcher that changes a blow direction of the floating air blower to an arbitrary direction; and a hardware processor that controls change in the blow direction of the floating air blower by the blow direction switcher in accordance with at least one of a basis weight, a size, and a floating property of a sheet.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for feeding media sheets in an image production device is disclosed. The method may include applying air downward to a top of a trailing edge of a media sheet located at a top of a media stack that is to be fed to an image production section of the image production device, the applied air causing the top media sheet to separate from the media stack, and feeding the separated top media sheet to the image production section.
