<p>PURPOSE:To stably feed stored sheets by making a removable storage device itself in which several sheets are stored, to abut directly against a structure member of the body of an apparatus when the storage device is stored in an apparatus inward of the latter, so as to position the storage device. CONSTITUTION:An operator pulls a cassette 7 toward him by means of a slide device before printing operation, and sets sheets S having a desired size on a middle plate 13 before the cassette 7 is mounted in a machine body 2. In this phase, foots 9a on the body 9 of the cassette 7 pierce through holes 6b in the bottom plate 6a of a cassette loading bed 6 and make directly contact with a machine frame 10 so that the cassette is positioned in the vertical direction. Further, the left end of the cassette body 9 is urged by a leaf spring 12 while the right end thereof abuts against a stay 11 so that the cassette 7 is positioned in the lateral direction. Further, the inward side of the cassette body 9 abuts against projections formed on the machine frame 10 so that the cassette is positioned in the longitudinal direction. Thus, it is possible to easily position the cassette, thereby it is possible to stably feed stored sheets.</p> |
