1. A sheet feed cassette comprising:
a main body to be set in a body of an image forming apparatus; a first press-up member provided on a bottom surface of the main body and configured to support a plurality of print media stacked thereon; a first elastic member configured to apply an elastic force to the first press-up member such that the first press-up member presses up a downstream end, with respect to a feeding direction, of the plurality of print media; a second press-up member; a second elastic member configured to apply an elastic force to the second press-up member such that the second press-up member presses up the first press-up member or the plurality of print media; an adjusting mechanism configured to adjust the force of the second press-up member to press up the first press-up member or the plurality of print media in accordance with a size of the print media; and a regulatory mechanism configured to prevent the second press-up member from pressing up the first press-up member or the plurality of print media when the main body is detached from the body of the image forming apparatus. |
