<p>PURPOSE:To eliminate a waiting time when a cassette plate is drawn out by providing a holding plate, moving the cassette plate to a paper feeding position; a transmission mechanism, turning-on/off freely transmitting drive force from a motor to the holding plate; and an interlocking means, interlocking with cassette drawing operation for drawing the cassette plate to turning-on/off- operate the transmission mechanism. CONSTITUTION:A cassette plate 2 on which sheets l are placed is made movable to an upper paper-feeding position 3 and a lower drawing position 4. The cassette plate 2 is moved to the paper-feeding position 3 with a holding plate 5. Drive force from a motor 6 is tuning-on/off freely transmitted to the holding plate 5 with a transmission mechanism 7. Moreover, the transmission mechanism 7 is turning-on/off-operated by interlocking with cassette drawing operation, for drawing the cassette plate 2, with an interlocking means 8. Resultantly a waiting time when the cassette plate is drawn can be eliminated and the breakage of a drive system can be prevented.</p> |
