A sheet supply device comprising:

• a support portion that rotatably supports a roll sheet;
• a first supply path to which a sheet from the roll sheet supported by the support portion is supplied;
• a second supply path to which a sheet from the roll sheet supported by the support portion is supplied and located on an upper side of the first supply path;
• a drive portion that rotates the roll sheet supported by the support portion, the drive portion rotating the roll sheet in a first direction for supplying the sheet to the first supply path and a second direction opposite to the first direction for supplying the sheet to the second supply path;
• a conveyance path that conveys the sheet supplied from the first supply path and the second supply path;
• a separation flapper provided between the first supply path and the second supply path and separating a leading end of the sheet from the roll sheet rotated in the first direction in the support portion;
• and
• a flapper movement mechanism moving the separation flapper to a contact position in contact with the roll sheet and to a separation position separated from the roll sheet.

A recording device comprising:

• a support portion that rotatably supports a roll sheet;
• a first supply path to which a sheet from the roll sheet supported by the support portion is supplied;
• a second supply path to which a sheet from the roll sheet supported by the support portion is supplied;
• a drive portion that rotates the roll sheet supported by the support portion, the drive portion rotating the roll sheet in a first direction for supplying the sheet to the first supply path and a second direction opposite to the first direction for supplying the sheet to the second supply path;
• a conveyance path that conveys the sheet supplied from the first supply path and the second supply path;
• a recording portion that is connected to the conveyance path and performs a recording operation on the sheet sent out to the conveyance path;
• a first contact body in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the roll sheet supported by the support portion;
• a first guide member which supports the first contact body and guides the sheet supplied from the roll sheet to the first supply path;
• a second contact body in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the roll sheet supported by the support portion;
• and
• a second guide member which supports the second contact body and guides the sheet supplied from the roll sheet to the second supply path.
