Abstract

A cassette for storing an image recording medium includes a casing for housing the image recording medium therein, and a cover openably and closably mounted on the casing for holding the image recording medium in a light-shielding manner in the casing. A resilient member such as a leaf spring or a sponge body is disposed in the casing for placing the image recording medium thereon. Alternatively, a lifter is operatively coupled between the cover and the casing for placing the image recording medium thereon. When the cover is opened in a device having a sheet feed system, the image recording medium can be brought by the resilient member or the lifter into a position facing the sheet feed system and then fed out of the casing by the sheet feed system.
