Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A recording medium feeding unit includes a recording medium loading plate, a main body, positioning members, racks, a pinion, a rotating shaft and an adjustment member. The main body holds the recording medium loading plate. The positioning members position the recording member in a widthwise direction. The racks are respectively provided on the positioning members, extend along the widthwise direction, and move in the widthwise direction integrally with the positioning members. The pinion is rotatably provided on the main body, is engaged with each of the racks, and is rotated in association with the movement of the racks. The rotating shaft rotatably supports the pinion. The adjustment member applies a rotation load to the pinion by allowing the pinion to be in contact therewith. The adjustment member is capable of adjusting the rotation load in a manner to move in the thickness direction of the recording medium loading plate.
