Abstract
A sheet package to be set in a sheet storage unit of a printer includes a stack of sheets and a package member covering the stack of sheets. The sheets are supplied from the sheet package to the printer along a sheet feed direction. The package member has a side part being in parallel with the sheet feed direction and having an edge at its front in the sheet feed direction. The side part is structured so that a projecting part of the sheet storage unit secures the position of the package member by contacting the front edge of the side part and the side edge of the stack of sheets when the package member is placed in the sheet storage unit relative to the sheet feed direction.
