To separate cut sheets and carry one by one surely, even if the cut sheets are piled and sent, by operating a feed roller intermittently at a feed distance divided the distance of a contact part in several, while the tip of the cut sheet passes in the contact part between the feed roller and a reverse turn roller.
At the point of time when a cut sheet 11 reaches the entrance of a cut sheet separation pat, a control device 22 switches a mode to an intermittent action mode and drives a pick up roller 13 and a feed roller 14 in a carrying direction intermittently. The intermittent action mode is a feed mode for giving the feed length divided the distance of the cut sheet separation part in several. When the cut sheet 11 picked up by the pick up roller 13 and sent to the cut sheet separation part is a piled cut sheet 11, in the cut sheet separation part, the tip of the cut sheet 11 is rubbed at pleural times by the feed roller 14 and the reverse turn roller 16 and the cut sheet 11 is separated.
