Abstract
A paper feed tray includes: a case that accommodates a stack of paper; a slide member that is provided to be slidable with respect to the case in accordance with the size of the paper; a guide member that is supported by the slide member and is provided with a regulation surface regulating an end portion of the paper; and a movable member that is provided with at least a portion of the regulation surface and is provided to be movable with respect to the slide member, the movable member serving as a portion of the guide member. The movable member is supported to be movable with respect to the slide member so that the regulation surface of the movable member is separated from the end portion of the paper when setting the paper. The movable member is urged toward a position where the end portion of the paper is regulated.
