Abstract
A paper feeding device for feeding a sheet of paper from a paper feed cassette removably mounted in a body of an equipment includes a paper feed roller, a roller moving member for moving the paper feed roller between a normal position and a specific position, a fixing member for fixing the roller moving member so as to hold the specific position of the paper feed roller upon unloading the paper feed cassette, and a canceling member for canceling the fixation of the roller moving member by the fixing member so as to yet hold the specific position of the paper feed roller upon loading the paper feed cassette again. Accordingly, in the case of continuing to use the paper of the same size, it is possible to eliminate undue reciprocation of the paper feed roller between the normal position and the specific position upon loading and unloading the paper feed cassette and therefore reduce wear.
