    摘要: A recording medium supplying device includes: a recording medium mounting portion on which sheet-like recording media are capable of being mounted in a stacked state; an air discharging unit that blows air to the recording media in the stacked state so as to make recording medium at an uppermost position float; a conveying unit that adsorbs and conveys the floating recording medium at the uppermost position; an upper surface position detecting unit that makes contact with an uppermost surface of the recording media in the stacked state and detects a height position of the uppermost surface; and a pressing force varying mechanism that makes a pressing force of the upper surface position detecting unit on the uppermost surface of the recording media variable.

    摘要: A sheet feeding device includes a sheet feed tray, a conveying roller pair, and a contact-and-separation mechanism. The sheet feed tray is detachably attached to a body of an image forming apparatus. The conveying roller pair is disposed in the body of the image forming apparatus, conveys a sheet fed from the sheet feed tray attached to the body of the image forming apparatus, and includes a driving roller and a driven roller. The driving roller is rotated by a drive mechanism. The driven roller is rotated by the driving roller. The contact-and-separation mechanism separates the driven roller from the driving roller in conjunction with detachment of the sheet feed tray from the body of the image forming apparatus and brings the driven roller into contact with the driving roller by the drive mechanism when the sheet feed tray is detached from the body of the image forming apparatus.
