An example paper cassette includes a cassette portion; a sliding portion to slide relative to the cassette portion to adjust a length of the paper cassette, the sliding portion initially being in a shipping position defining a shipping length of the paper cassette and deployable to different deployment positions at which the paper cassette is longer than the shipping length; and a length selection mechanism to: mechanically select one deployment position of the different deployment positions, while the sliding portion is in the shipping position; lock the sliding portion at the one deployment position, relative to the cassette portion when the sliding portion first slides from the shipping position.

According to one embodiment, an image processing device includes a cassette main body, a device main body, a handle, and a pressing member. The cassette main body contains a sheet. The device main body stores the cassette main body retractably in a first direction. The handle is displaceably supported by the cassette main body. The pressing member is supported by the cassette main body. The pressing member presses the device main body in a second direction opposite to the first direction in conjunction with displacement of the handle with respect to the cassette main body.

Disclosed is a sheet feeding apparatus configured to be attached to an image forming apparatus. The sheet feeding apparatus includes a frame body and a locking member provided on an upper part of the frame body, the locking member being configured to be movable between a locking position where the frame body is locked to the image forming apparatus and a releasing position where the locking of the frame body is released, wherein in attaching the heating unit to an attaching position of the frame body, the locking member is configured to restrict a movement of the heating unit to the attaching position by interfering with the heating unit when the locking member is located at the releasing position and to allow a movement of the heating unit to the attaching position when the locking member is located at the locking position.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a tray that stores a recording medium in a closed state in which the tray is placed in an apparatus body, the tray being capable of being pulled out from the apparatus body in a predetermined pulling direction; a transport unit that is provided on the apparatus body and that transports the recording medium in a direction crossing the pulling direction when the tray is in the closed state; a first contact portion provided on the tray and having a contact surface spaced from the transport unit when viewed in the pulling direction, the first contact portion being located upstream of the transport unit in the pulling direction and the contact surface being in contact with an upstream end portion of the recording medium stored in the tray in the pulling direction when the tray is in the closed state; a second contact portion disposed at a position that is upstream of the transport unit in the pulling direction and at which the second contact portion overlaps the transport unit when viewed in the pulling direction, the second contact portion having a contact surface that is in contact with the end portion when the tray is in the closed state; a first overlapping portion provided on the first contact portion and disposed downstream of the second contact portion in the pulling direction, the first overlapping portion overlapping the second contact portion when viewed in the pulling direction; and an urging portion that urges the second contact portion downstream in the pulling direction so that the second contact portion abuts against the first overlapping portion when the tray is in the closed state.

Provided is a sheet conveying apparatus provided with: a rocker switch; a plurality of connectors each connected to two terminals; an outer cover; and a housing portion, wherein the connector among the plurality of connectors which is positioned farthest from the center of the rocker switch in the parallel direction of the two terminals protrudes toward an end portion of the end surface of the rocker switch which is on the connector side, and wherein a wall portion of the housing portion is disposed in a position opposing an end portion on the opposite side from the end portion in the parallel direction and in a position closer, in the direction of insertion of the plurality of connectors into the two terminals, to the rocker switch than the end surfaces of the plurality of connectors on the opposite side from the side where the rocker switch is disposed.

An image forming apparatus includes a paper feed device and an image forming apparatus main body including a paper feed cassette removable from the image forming apparatus main body and including an image forming unit. The paper feed cassette stores a recording material, and the image forming unit forms an image on the recording material. The paper feed device allows the image forming apparatus main body to be stacked on the paper feed device below the paper feed cassette. The paper feed device is provided with a coupling section. In a space formed in a case where the paper feed cassette is removed from the image forming apparatus main body, the coupling section is fixed to the image forming apparatus main body by a fixing unit to couple the image forming apparatus main body and the paper feed device together.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes an upper support portion formed integrally with a side plate and configured to support an electric circuit board; an upper opening portion formed in the side plate near the upper support portion; a lower support portion provided at a separate part mounted to the side plate and configured to support the electric circuit board; and a lower opening portion provided between the side plate and the separate part. All line segments having a length of 50 mm or less, among line segments extending from arbitrary points in a main body portion of a sheet cassette, through arbitrary points in the upper opening portion, to the electric circuit board, form an angle of 45° or more with respect to a vertical line, and the lower opening portion has a dimension of 5 mm or less or a width of 1 mm or less.

An image forming device includes a tray on which a sheet is to be placed and including a plurality of first electrodes arranged along a first direction, a sheet guide including a conductor and movable along the first direction to different positions relative to the first electrodes, a detection circuit electrically connected to each of the first electrodes and configured to detect an amount of electric charge in each of the first electrodes, a printer configured to form an image on the sheet supplied from the tray, and a processor configured to determine a size of the sheet placed on the tray based on amounts of electric charge detected by the detection circuit, and control the printer to form an image on the sheet using the determined size.

An image forming apparatus includes a sheet storage unit including a sheet tray on which one or more sheets are to be stacked, a sensor configured to detect that the sheet storage unit is being operated, and a processor configured to execute a predetermined process after the sensor detects that the sheet storage unit has been operated, and a predetermined condition relating to an occurrence of the sheet conveyance error is satisfied.

A sheet supporting apparatus includes a sheet supporting unit having a sheet supporting portion including a supporting surface on which a sheet is supported, and a first engagement unit attached to the sheet supporting portion, and a second engagement unit to draw in the sheet supporting unit toward an attaching position where the sheet supporting unit is attached to an apparatus body. The first engagement unit includes a first engagement portion, a base portion supported by the sheet supporting portion, and a holder that is supported movably in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the supporting surface by the base portion and configured to hold the first engagement portion. The base portion supports the holder swingably around a swing shaft that extends in a direction orthogonal to both the perpendicular direction and an inserting direction in which the sheet supporting unit is inserted.
