Abstract
A feeding device to feed a sheet in a feeding direction includes a mount on which a substantially rectangular parallelepiped sheet pack is mountable; a first cutter to cut, in the feeding direction, a first side surface on one end side in a width direction orthogonal to the feeding direction out of four side surfaces of the sheet pack; a second cutter to cut, in the width direction, a second side surface on a downstream side in the feeding direction out of the four side surfaces; and a third cutter to cut, in the feeding direction, a third side surface on another end side in the width direction out of the four side surfaces. Height positions cut by the first cutter, the second cutter, and the third cutter coincide with each other. Cut portions by the first cutter, the second cutter, and the third cutter are coupled to each other.
