Abstract
A recording-medium-mounting device includes a slide member having an engaging member that is engageable with a recess in a cartridge, the slide member pulling the cartridge inward to a predetermined mounting position by sliding in an insertion direction while the engaging member is engaged with the recess, a drive motor for driving the slide member, and a switch unit for starting the drive motor. The switch unit starts the drive motor and causes the slide member to slide after the recess in the cartridge is moved in the insertion direction beyond a standby position of the engaging member so that the engaging member engages with the recess from the front.
