Abstract
A sheet feed tray is openably/closably (or foldably) attached to the main body of a recording apparatus, and a separator, which separates recorded media to be discharged above the sheet feed tray from unrecorded media loaded on the sheet feed tray, is provided so as to be displaceable relative to the sheet feed tray. When the sheet feed tray is pivoted a predetermined distance or more in the direction indicated by an arrow A, the separator is turned in the direction indicated by an arrow B and enters the inside of the sheet feed tray. With the arrangement, the interference between a separator and the main body of a recording apparatus is avoided, without causing a reduction in the permissible number of unrecorded media to be loaded and an increase of the size of the apparatus.
