Abstract
There is provided a sheet feeding apparatus. A supporting unit rotatably supports a roll sheet formed by winding a continuous sheet into a roll shape. A first conveying path forming member is placed in a position spaced apart from the roll sheet supported by the supporting unit, and forms a first conveying path of the sheet. A displacing unit includes a guide portion capable of being displaced between a guide position and a retracting position set farther from a start position than the guide position. The guide portion is displaced from the retracting position to the guide position when a leading edge of the sheet separated from the roll sheet supported by the supporting unit is positioned between the guide portion in the retracting position and the start position.
