An item inspection system includes a portable system that reads information from a wireless device, a position estimation unit that estimates a position of the portable system based on reading of identification information from a first wireless device installed at a known position, and an inspection unit that inspects whether the item exists in a specific place based on reading of identification information from a second wireless device attached to an item. The portable system selectively operates in a first mode for position estimation and a second mode for the inspection. The inspection unit guides a user based on a position of the item and an estimated position of the portable system, and determines that the item exists in the specific place when the identification information has been read from the second wireless device in the second mode.

A sheet feeding device includes a detachable separation unit, a conveyance unit, a guide member, an urging member, and an opening and closing member. The feeding unit feeds a stored sheet. The separation unit separates sheets fed by the feeding unit one by one. The conveyance unit conveys the sheet. Urged by the urging member, the guide member guides the sheet toward the conveyance unit and rotates about a first rotating shaft. The opening and closing member opens and closes. In a state in which the opening and closing member is closed, the guide member is positioned in a first position in which the guide member forms a conveyance path. In a process in which the opening and closing member is opened, a free end of the guide member moves upwardly about the first rotating shaft, by using an urging force, from the first to a second position.
