Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet stacking unit on which a sheet is stacked, a feed member configured to abut against the sheet stacked on the sheet stacking unit to feed the sheet, a friction member disposed on the sheet stacking unit so as to be opposed to the feed member; a drive unit configured to drive the feed member, a detection unit configured to detect a load on the drive unit when the drive unit drives the feed member, and a control unit configured to control the drive unit. The control unit causes the drive unit to drive the feed member at a first speed and thereafter in a case where the load detected by the detection unit satisfies a predetermined condition, the control unit causes the drive unit to drive the feed member at a second speed higher than the first speed.
