Sheet feeding device and image forming apparatus
A sheet feeding device includes a raising and lowering portion, a first detecting portion, a feeding portion, a second detecting portion, and a controller. When a change in a state of the feeding roller from a state of being in an uppermost sheet feedable position to a state of being not in the uppermost sheet feedable position is detected by the second detecting portion and then a change in a state of the uppermost sheet from a state of being in a feeding position to a state of being not in the feeding position is detected by the first detecting portion, the controller controls the raising and lowering portion to raise the stacking member on the basis of a correction amount determined based on a time from change timing of the second detecting portion to change timing of the first detecting portion.
Image forming apparatus
An image forming apparatus (10) includes an apparatus main body (20), a first processing unit (30) and a second processing unit (40). The apparatus main body (20) performs an image forming process onto a paper sheet. The first processing unit (30) and the second processing unit (40) are disposed in vertical direction (91) such that one is located on an upside of the other on a same side face's side of the apparatus main body 20. The second processing unit (40) is disposed on the upside of the first processing unit (30), and is configured in such a manner as to be capable of being slidingly moved in an approaching-leaving direction (92) in relation to the apparatus main body (20).
Sheet storage device and image forming apparatus
A sheet storage device, including a storage tray configured to store a sheet therein; a board, on which the sheet to be stored in the storage tray is placed, the board being configured to be swingably supported by the storage tray at a first position closer to a first end thereof than a second end being opposite from the first end to swing about a swing axis; and a projection configured to protrude from a bottom of the storage tray toward the board, the projection including a contact part being configured to contact the board member at a second position closer to the second end than to the first end of the board, is provided. A length of the contact part along an axial direction of the swing axis is smaller than a length of the board at the second position closer to the second end.
Image recording apparatus
An image recording apparatus includes: a casing; a sheet-feeder tray having a supporting surface for supporting a sheet-shaped recording medium; a recording unit which is configured to record an image on the recording medium fed from the sheet-feeder tray; a discharge roller pair configured to discharge, from the casing, the recording medium on which the image has been recorded by the recording unit; an opening-closing member which is provided on the downstream of the discharge roller pair in a direction in which the recording medium is discharged by the discharge roller pair and is rotatable between a first position where a discharging slot of the recording medium discharged by the discharge roller pair is closed and a second position where the discharging slot is open; and a restricting mechanism configured to restrict the rotation of the opening-closing member from the second position to the first position.
Image recording apparatus
An image recording apparatus includes: an apparatus casing in which a transport path for transporting a sheet is formed; a first sheet support unit having a first support surface configured to support the sheet; a feed unit configured to feed the sheet supported by the first support surface to the transport path; a second sheet support unit having a second support surface configured to support the sheet; a transport unit configured to transport the sheet from the first and second sheet support units via the transport path; and a recording unit configured to record an image on the sheet transported by the transport unit in the transport path. The first and second sheet support units are arranged on one side surface of the apparatus casing, and the first and second support surfaces are configured to incline with respect to a placement surface on which the apparatus casing is placed.
Image forming apparatus and supplying device
An image forming apparatus includes a storing-device body that is drawable from an image-forming-apparatus body, a supporting member attached to the storing-device body and that supports a stack of recording media from below, a feeding member that feeds a top one of the recording media on the supporting member into the image-forming-apparatus body, a moving mechanism that moves the supporting member such that the top one of the recording media on the supporting member comes into contact with the feeding member, a connecting mechanism that connects the moving mechanism to a drive source in conjunction with attaching of the storing-device body to the image-forming-apparatus body, an image forming section that forms an image on the recording medium fed by the feeding member, and a disabling mechanism that disables connection between the drive source and the moving mechanism in conjunction with pushing of the storing-device body into the image-forming-apparatus body.
