Abstract:
A sheet feed device includes a first tray comprising a first plate configured to receive a first plurality of sheets thereon, in which the first tray includes a support, and a second tray positioned on the first tray. The second tray includes a first and a second side portion, and a second plate configured to receive a second plurality of sheets thereon. The device also includes a feed roller configured to selectively feed the sheets in a sheet feed direction. The support is configured to selectively support the second tray at a retracted position and a sheet feed position at which the feed roller is configured to selectively feed the first plurality of sheets and the second plurality of sheets, respectively. Moreover, a shortest distance between an upper surface of the first plate and a lower surface of the second plate when the second tray is in the sheet feed position is less than a shortest distance in the retracted position.
