  • Publication number: 20170108813
    Abstract: A sheet feeding apparatus includes an upstream end regulation unit configured to move between a regulating position where the regulation unit is protruded from the sheet support surface and regulates a sheet supported on the sheet support surface from moving upstream in the sheet conveyance direction, and a retracted position where the regulation unit is pushed down into the sheet support surface from the regulating position. The upstream end regulation unit is positioned within an area where it is overlapped with a sheet placed on the reference position, and configured to move from the retracted position to the regulating position in a state where there are no sheets on the upstream end regulating unit.
