To realize the size reduction of a device and its stable paper feeding operation, in this paper feeder that makes its paper feeding from two paper feed trays achievable at the same time.

A topmost chart 7a on a first paper feed tray 8 is provided with a D type paper feed roller 30 intermittently contacting or separating with the rotation and delivering it successively. In addition, it is also provided with a paper feed roller 9 in contact with another topmost chart 7b on a second paper feed tray 42 set up in an upper part of the first paper feed tray 8 and delivering it in consecutive order. In this constitution, the paper feed roller 9 is set up adjacently in the rear of the D type paper feed roller 30, and the chart 7b fed by the second paper feed tray 42 is passed through a space between the roller 30 and the chart 7a on the first paper feed tray 8.
