Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a support portion, a guide portion, and a contact unit. The support portion rotatably supports a roll having a sheet wound to the roll. In loading the roll, the guide portion guides the roll in a guide direction from above the support portion to the support portion. The contact unit contacts an outer periphery of the roll supported by the support portion. The contact unit contacts the roll from upstream in the guide direction, and, in feeding the sheet, the sheet is fed from the roll supported by the support portion.
