PURPOSE: To feed paper sheets for transmission to a facsimile machine every time when its destination changes by employing a photoelectric sensor for recognizing the start of the transmission paper sheet feed, a photoelectric sensor for recognizing the readiness condition of the paper sheet to be fed, an electromagnetic clamp for clamping the paper sheet to fed, and a pusher for sending out the paper sheet to the facsimile machine.
CONSTITUTION: After a transmission paper sheet 9 is used for transmission with a facsimile machine 12, the sheet 9 is not present, the value of an inner register in a control device changes, a paper sheet feed instruction switch S is set to 1, an instruction is given, for example, to a stack paper sheet receiving table 6 in a position of bit corresponding to a lowermost stage to open an electromagnetic clamp 3 for holding the paper sheets, and the clamp is opened. Finally, with a drive instruction to a paper sheet feeding pusher 5, the stack paper sheet 8 in the lowermost stage is fed with the pusher 5 to the facsimile machine 12.
