A paper feeder comprising a feed roller and a paper feed member capable of holding and feeding roll paper, and a first paper guide having an inclined first guide surface in which the roll paper output from the feed roller is pressed thereagainst and the roll paper is guided in the direction opposite to the curving direction. This paper feeder presses the roll paper against the guide surface and curves it in the direction opposite to the curl to correct the curl of the roll paper, and thus, can efficiently correct the curl. In addition, a mechanism for eliminating the curl is simplified, and the load on a motor is reduced. The paper feeder is applicable to a compact printer carried together with a cellular phone or the like.
