PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tilt prevention mechanism of a paper feed cassette for preventing a front end of the paper feed cassette from tilting downward when the paper feed cassette is pulled out from a mounting part.SOLUTION: A mounting engagement part 49 is formed at both side faces of a paper feed cassette 31 in a horizontal direction from a front end to a rear end, and the mounting engagement part 49 includes: a first roller 59 disposed at a lower face; and a second roller 63 disposed at an upper face of a rear end part. A lower guide rail 55 of a mounting part 53 extends along the lower face of the mounting engagement part of the paper feed cassette and supports a rear portion of the paper feed cassette at the upper face of the rear end part via the first roller. A body side roller 58 is disposed at a front part of the lower guide rail and supports a front portion of the paper feed cassette via the lower face of the mounting engagement part of the paper feed cassette. An upper guide rail 54 is disposed to face the lower guide rail, and a lower face of the upper guide rail is made to be in contact with the second roller at the narrowest gap between an upper face of the mounting engagement part of the paper feed cassette and the upper guide rail that continuously narrows toward a front up to a mounting port of the mounting part to prevent the rear end part of the paper feed cassette from moving upward. |
