Sheet feeding apparatus with sheet supports orthogonal to each other

摘要

A sheet feeder has a feed cassette containing sheets to be supplied to an image forming unit in an image recording apparatus and able to be drawn out of the apparatus through a front portion of the apparatus, and another feed cassette able to be drawn out of the apparatus through a side portion. The feed cassette that can be drawn out through the side portion has a portion projecting outward from the side portion of the apparatus and located below a discharge tray for receiving sheets on which images are formed and which are discharged. This feed cassette can contain sheets having a size larger than the maximum size of recording sheets containable in the feed cassette drawn out through the front portion.
