Image processing apparatus

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• an apparatus main body;
• a paper feeding cassette configured to be inserted into the apparatus main body and drawn out from the apparatus main body in a first orientation along a first direction;
• a drawing-in structure connected to the paper feeding cassette and configured to draw the paper feeding cassette into the apparatus main body up to a drawing-in completion position along a second orientation opposite to the first orientation;
• and
• a restricting member displaceably interposed between the apparatus main body and the paper feeding cassette in a predetermined position and configured to restrict the paper feeding cassette from a waiting position to the drawing-in completion position in the second orientation, the drawing-in structure configured to restrict further movement of the paper feeding cassette in the completion position and, when the paper feeding cassette is not connected to the drawing-in structure even if the paper feeding cassette is pushed in the second orientation up to the waiting position, displaced from the predetermined position to allow the paper feeding cassette to be displaced in the second orientation with respect to the apparatus main body, wherein
• the restricting member has an allowable position where the restricting member allows the paper feeding cassette to be displaced in the second orientation with respect to the apparatus main body, and
• the apparatus further comprises an urging member configured to urge the restricting member in a direction from the allowable position to the predetermined position.
