RECORDING MEDIUM SUPPLYING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A recording medium supplying device includes: a recording medium mounting portion on which sheet-like recording media are capable of being mounted in a stacked state; an air discharging unit that blows air to the recording media in the stacked state so as to make recording medium at an uppermost position float; a conveying unit that adsorbs and conveys the floating recording medium at the uppermost position; an upper surface position detecting unit that makes contact with an uppermost surface of the recording media in the stacked state and detects a height position of the uppermost surface; and a pressing force varying mechanism that makes a pressing force of the upper surface position detecting unit on the uppermost surface of the recording media variable.
