Abstract

A feeding apparatus includes a feeding device that feeds paper from a tray to a feed path, a guide member that moves between a first position to cover the feed path and a second position to expose the feed path, a detection device disposed along the feed path downstream from the guide member, and detects the paper fed in the feed path, a judgment device that judges whether a feeding error has occurred in the feed path, a particular information control device that stores particular information in a memory when a feeding error has occurred, and a notification device that issues information indicating that the paper has not been fed from the tray to the feed path when the paper is not detected by the detection device and the memory does not store the particular information.
