Image recording apparatus and feed tray

An image recording apparatus comprising:

• a feed tray;
• a feed roller configured to feed a sheet medium accommodated in the feed tray;
• and
• a recording unit configured to record an image on the sheet medium fed by the feed roller,
• wherein the feed tray includes:
• a first accommodating part configured to accommodate a rolled body formed by rolling the sheet medium;
• a second accommodating part configured to accommodate a plurality of sheet media in a stacked state, each of the sheet media being the sheet medium;
• a contact surface configured to contact, from below, the sheet medium unrolled from the rolled body accommodated in the first accommodating part;
• a support member having a support surface configured to support the sheet media accommodated in the second accommodating part, and
• a roller having the contact surface,
• the feed roller is configured to be movable between a contact position at which the feed roller contacts the contact surface and a separation position at which the feed roller is away from the contact surface,
• the support member is configured to be movable between a first position at which the support member is outside a movement path of the feed roller and a second position at which the support member is on the movement path of the feed roller with the support surface facing upward,
• the support surface includes a first area and a second area having a coefficient of friction higher than a coefficient of friction of the first area, and
• in a state that the support member is positioned at the second position, the second area is positioned on the movement path of the feed roller.

An image recording apparatus comprising:

• a feed tray;
• a feed roller configured to feed a sheet medium accommodated in the feed tray;
• and
• a recording unit configured to record an image on the sheet medium fed by the feed roller,
• wherein the feed tray includes:
• a first accommodating part configured to accommodate a rolled body formed by rolling the sheet medium;
• a second accommodating part configured to accommodate a plurality of sheet media in a stacked state, each of the sheet media being the sheet medium;
• a contact surface configured to contact, from below, the sheet medium unrolled from the rolled body accommodated in the first accommodating part;
• and
• a support member having a support surface configured to support the sheet media accommodated in the second accommodating part,
• the feed roller is configured to be movable between a contact position at which the feed roller contacts the contact surface and a separation position at which the feed roller is away from the contact surface,
• the support member is configured to be movable between a first position at which the support member is outside a movement path of the feed roller and a second position at which the support member is on the movement path of the feed roller with the support surface facing upward, and
• the support member is a plate member with one side as the support surface, and moves between the first position and the second position by rotating around a first axis extending in one direction in a plane parallel to the support surface.

A feed tray, comprising;

• a first accommodating part configured to accommodate a rolled body formed by rolling sheet medium;
• a second accommodating part configured to accommodate a plurality of sheet media in a stacked state, each of the sheet media being the sheet medium;
• a contact surface configured to contact, from below, the sheet medium unrolled from the rolled body accommodated in the first accommodating part;
• and
• a support member having a support surface configured to support the plurality of sheet media in the stacked state, which is accommodated in the second accommodating part,
• wherein in a state where the second accommodating part is in a posture to accommodate the plurality of sheet media in the stacked state, a position of the second accommodating part relative to the first accommodating part is fixed, and
• the support member is configured to be movable between a cover position at which the support member covers a part of the contact surface with the support surface facing upward and a separation position at which the support member is farther from the part of the contact surface as compared with the cover position.
