<p>A sheet feeding device (11), comprising: a first tray (21) on which sheets to be fed are stacked; a second tray (22) which is disposed above the first tray to provide a two-tier structure and on which the sheets after having fed from the first tray are stacked; a sheet-feed path (23) extending from the first tray to the second tray; a sheet-feed mechanism (34, 25, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43) which is operable to separate one of the sheets stacked on the first tray, to feed the one of the sheets into the sheet-feed path, and to discharge the one of the sheets to the second tray such that the one of the sheets slides under another of the sheets that has been discharged immediately before the one of the sheets; and at least one sheet guide (25; 61; 71) which is configured to warp the sheets discharged to the second tray, in a direction perpendicular to a sheet-feed direction in which the sheets are fed.</p> |
