Abstract
A cassette holding a sheet of paper is arranged in such a manner that a feed roller feeds the sheet of paper into the main body of a printer, copying machine, etc. in a predetermined direction. The cassette is adapted so that it is inserted into and removed from the main body in a direction which is perpendicular to the predetermined direction within a plane of the fed sheet of paper. A member is fixed at a turn cover at one end so that one sheet of paper present on the feed roller is positioned between the turn cover and the other end of the member in order to draw out a sheet of paper when the turn cover is opened. Also, a special feed roller control operation is provided when the last sheet of paper is fed out.
