A multi-function peripheral includes a main body and a paper feeding module. The paper feeding module includes a supporting base, a feeding element and a paper separating elastic element. The supporting base is disposed on the main body. The supporting base is suitable for supporting multiple paper sheets and defines a paper feeding path. The feeding element is disposed above the supporting base for feeding the paper sheets along the paper feeding path. The paper separating elastic element has a fixed end connected to the supporting base and a free end disposed on the paper feeding path. When the feeding element feeds the papers along the paper feeding path, the free end applies a frictional force on the paper sheets such that one paper sheet passes the paper separating element and keeps moving while the rest of the paper sheets are blocked from moving by the paper separating elastic element.
