IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the usability at the time of replenishment of a recording material of a loading part.SOLUTION: An image formation apparatus comprises: a sheet feeding tray 111 on which recording materials are loaded; a sheet feeding pickup roller 113 which feeds the recording materials loaded on the sheet feeding tray 111 to a conveyance path; a lifting motor 163 which changes between the first state where the sheet feeding pickup roller 113 is brought into contact with the recording materials loaded on the sheet feeding tray 111 and the second state where the sheet feeding pickup roller 113 separates from the recording materials loaded on the sheet feeding tray 111; a CPU 301 which controls the lifting motor 163; and a final sheet sensor 172 which detects that the final recording material loaded on the sheet feeding tray 111 is being fed by the sheet feeding pickup roller 113. The CPU 301 controls the lifting motor 163 to change from the first state to the second state (S1008) when the final sheet sensor 172 detects that the final recording material is being fed (Y in S1006).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
