Abstract:
An image forming device includes: a tray; an image forming unit; a drive source; a feeding roller; a support portion; a support shaft; and a drive shaft. The tray is configured to support a recording sheet. The image forming unit is configured to form an image on the recording sheet. The drive source is configured to generate a driving force. The feeding roller is configured to rotate upon receipt of the driving force to feed the recording sheet supported by the tray toward the image forming unit. The support portion is configured to rotatably support the feeding roller. The support shaft is disposed above the tray and configured to pivotally movably support the support portion. The drive shaft is independent of the support shaft and configured to rotate upon receipt of the driving force from the drive source.
