A recording apparatus on which a cut sheet feeder is removably mountable includes an outer case, a feed roller contained in the outer case and rotatable by the power of a drive source, a pinch roller urged against or spaced apart from the feed roller, and a controlling device exposed out of the outer case and engageable with the cut sheet feeder to forcibly control the pinch roller into a state in which it is urged against the feed roller. The cut sheet feeder has a first stacker piling thereon cut sheets to be fed to the recording apparatus, a second stacker piling thereon cut sheets discharged from the recording apparatus, and a controlling device for forcibly controlling the pinch roller into its urged state when the cut sheet feeder is mounted on the recording apparatus.
