Abstract
A cut sheet feeder for use with an image forming apparatus includes a sheet feed mechanism and a sheet feed unit mechanism. The sheet feed mechanism picks up stacked cut sheets one at a time from a predetermined position and feeds each sheet to an image recording portion. The sheet feed unit is vertically movable relative to the sheet feed mechanism and has a first sheet feed table. The first sheet feed table is located in an upper part of the sheet feed unit and includes a cutout portion for avoiding interference with the sheet feed mechanism when the first sheet feed table moves vertically in combination with the sheet feed unit. A second sheet feed table is located in a lower part of the sheet feed unit and vertically movable relative to the sheet feed unit.
