Description

上記目的を達成するために、請求項１に記載の発明は、装填するシートを収納する筐体と、該筐体内での前記シートの端部位置を規制するとともに、前記筐体の底板上面に沿って移動可能な規制部材とを備えるシート供給カセットにおいて、前記筐体内での前記規制部材の位置を固定する位置固定部材を装着可能であって、前記位置固定部材は、前記規制部材の位置を固定した状態で、当該シート供給カセット内に前記シートを装填可能であり、前記規制部材のシート端部規制面の裏側の裏側面の、前記筐体の底板上面から離れた側の端部位置近傍から、前記裏側面の前記端部位置に対向する前記筐体の内側面近傍まで延出する延出部分を有することを特徴とするものである。 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 regulates a casing for storing a sheet to be loaded, an end position of the sheet in the casing, and an upper surface of a bottom plate of the casing. A sheet supply cassette including a restriction member movable along the position, and a position fixing member for fixing a position of the restriction member in the housing can be mounted, and the position fixing member is configured to determine a position of the restriction member. In the fixed state, the sheet can be loaded into the sheet supply cassette, and the back side surface of the back side of the sheet end portion regulating surface of the regulating member is near the end position on the side away from the top surface of the bottom plate of the housing To the vicinity of the inner side surface of the casing opposite to the position of the end portion of the back side surface.
