1. A supply apparatus comprising:
a first supply member that contacts a print medium at a first position and feeds out the print medium; a second supply member that contacts the print medium at a second position located upstream of the first position in the feeding-out direction and feeds out the print medium; a drive transmission unit configured to transmit rotation of a drive shaft to the first supply member and the second supply member; an arm member that supports the first supply member, the second supply member and the drive transmission unit and rotates around a predetermined axis, and a control unit that switches contacting state between a first contacting state in which the first supplying member contacts with the printing medium and the second supplying member does not contact with the printing medium and a second contacting state in which the first supplying member does not contact with the printing medium and the second supplying member contacts with the printing medium.
