Abstract
A feeding device provided with a cassette rotatable between a longitudinal feed position from which paper is fed in a longitudinal direction and a lateral feed position from which paper is fed in a lateral direction and a feeding number memory for storing respective feeding numbers in a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction of the rotatable cassette. The feeding device is controlled such that after setting a priority of the feed direction of the rotatable cassette based on data stored in the feeding number memory, the rotatable cassette is rotated in the priority of the feed direction. As a result, the feeding device provides a more convenient and efficient operating process.
