Paper cassette

A paper cassette for holding papers of different sizes to be fed into an image recording system in a paper feeding direction, said paper cassette comprising:

• a cassette body for containing paper of different sizes to be fed into the image recording system, said cassette body having a paper size display panel affixed on an exterior of a front wall to provide a visual display of different sizes of paper being fed into the image recording system, a first slit formed on the front wall extending in a width direction perpendicular to said paper feed direction, and a second slit integrally formed on a distal end of said first slit extending vertically from said first slit;
• a width regulation plate movably installed in said cassette body, for regulating placement of paper of different widths in said width direction perpendicular to said paper feed direction;
• a length regulation plate movably installed in said cassette body, for regulating placement of paper of different lengths in said paper feed direction;
• an indicator extended from said width regulation plate through said first slit formed on the front wall of said cassette body, for indicating the size of paper being fed into the image recording system via said paper size display panel when said width regulation plate and said length regulation plate regulate the paper of different widths and lengths, respectively;
• a hinge fixed to an interior of a side wall of said cassette body;
• and
• a lever coupled to said hinge, connected to said length regulation plate and said indicator, for enabling regulation of paper of different lengths in said paper feed direction, for enabling said indicator to control regulation of said paper of different lengths in said paper feed direction when said indicator extending through said first slit moves vertically in an upward and downward direction through said second slit.
