Abstract
The sheet containing apparatus is provided with: an apparatus main body; a drawer that is capable of being pulled out from the apparatus main body; a sheet container that is movable relative to the drawer and that contains a sheet; a feeder that feeds a sheet contained in the sheet container; and a moving unit that moves the sheet container in a direction intersecting with a feed direction in which the feeder feeds a sheet.
Claims12
A sheet containing apparatus, comprising:
- an apparatus main body;
- a drawer that is capable of being pulled out from the apparatus main body;
- a sheet container that is movable relative to the drawer and that contains a sheet;
- a feeder that feeds a sheet contained in the sheet container;
- and
- a moving unit that moves the sheet container in a direction intersecting with a feed direction in which the feeder feeds a sheet.
3 more elements
An image forming system, comprising:
- an image forming apparatus including a transporting unit that transports a sheet, by setting, as a reference position, a center position of the sheet in a direction orthogonal to a transport direction when transporting the sheet, and an image forming part that forms an image on the sheet transported by the transporting unit;
- and
- a plurality of sheet containing apparatuses that each contain a sheet to be supplied to the image forming apparatus,
- the plurality of sheet containing apparatuses, each including:
- an apparatus main body;
- a drawer that is capable of being pulled out from the apparatus main body;
- a sheet container that is movable relative to the drawer and that contains a sheet;
- a feeder that feeds a sheet contained in the sheet container;
- and
- a moving unit that moves the sheet container in a direction intersecting with a feed direction in which the feeder feeds a sheet.

An image forming system, comprising:
- an image forming apparatus including a transporting unit that transports a sheet, by setting, as a reference position, a center position of the sheet in a direction orthogonal to a transport direction when transporting the sheet, and an image forming part that forms an image on the sheet transported by the transporting unit;
- and
- a sheet containing apparatus that contains a sheet to be supplied to the image forming apparatus,
- the sheet containing apparatus including:
- an apparatus main body;
- a drawer that is capable of being pulled out from the apparatus main body;
- a sheet container that is movable relative to the drawer and that contains a sheet;
- and
- a moving unit that moves the sheet container,
- the sheet container including a feeder that feeds a sheet contained in the sheet container, a stacking unit on which a sheet is to be stacked, and a hitting unit that is fixedly provided in the sheet container so as to extend in a feed direction in which the feeder feeds a sheet, and the hitting unit against which a side edge of a sheet to be stacked is hit for positioning of a sheet at the reference position,
- the moving unit moving the sheet container in a direction intersecting with the feed direction, and also moving the sheet container so that the center position of a sheet contained in the sheet container in a direction orthogonal to the feed direction coincides with the reference position.
