ABSTRACT

A medium feed apparatus includes a stacking tray, a pick roller located at an
upstream side from a feed roller and separation roller in the medium
conveyance direction, a first sensor located at an upstream side from the pick
roller in the medium conveyance direction, a second sensor located at a
downstream side from the feed roller and the separation roller in the medium
conveyance direction, and a processor to rotate the pick roller and the feed
roller in a medium feed direction to feed a plurality of sheets of the medium
stacked on the stacking. The processor stops the pick roller when the second
sensor detects a front end of a preceding sheet of the medium and rotates the
pick roller again to advance a succeeding sheet of the medium when the first
sensor detects a back end of the preceding sheet of the medium.
