Abstract
The present invention provides an inexpensive and compact printing apparatus. The printing apparatus includes a sheet feeding mechanism configured to convey a sheet in an orthogonal direction to a loading direction of a cassette, and moves between a press-contacting position and a retraction position, an urging member configured to urge the cassette in a drawing-out direction, a locking member configured to abut against the cassette at a locking position opposed to the urging member, to regulate a movement of the cassette, and to enable draw-out of the cassette at a release position, and an interlocking member configured to regulate the movement of the locking member when the sheet feeding mechanism is located at the press-contacting position, and to release the regulation of the movement of the locking member when the sheet feeding mechanism is located at the retraction position.
