Therefore, the cassette can be remarkably downsized, and both the long sheet 27 and the short sheet 28 can be accommodated. Therefore, one sheet feeding cassette 24 can be used as both a short sheet cassette and a long sheet cassette.

Further, with respect to the short sheet 28, various sizes of sheets can be accommodated by changing the position of the sheet positioning piece 34, and a large number of sheets can be accommodated in one cassette.

Further, since the curved folded-back portion 26a is provided at the rear portion of the second tray 26, the long sheet 27 travels along the folded-back portion 26a, so that the long sheet by the sheet feeding roller 40 is conveyed. Paper feeding operation of 27 is performed smoothly. Also,
In this paper feed cassette 24, since the first tray 25 is provided with the stepped portion 31, air can easily enter between the long sheets 27 and the sheets can be easily cut. Will be carried out more smoothly.

In addition, a bent portion 35 is provided on the second tray 26 so as to face the step portion 31, and the guide path 3 is provided together with the inclined surface 31a of the step portion 31.
Since the sheet 6 is formed, the long sheet 27 is forcibly folded and accommodated along the folding portion 35. Therefore, in addition to the effect of the folded portion 30, the long sheet 27 can be accommodated in a shorter length, and the paper feed cassette 24 can be made compact.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the folded-back portion 26a as the second folded-back portion is provided on the side of the second tray 26 in the above-described embodiment, but is provided on the side of the first tray 25 as shown in FIG. Good.
