ABSTRACT:
A sheet supplying device in which a stack of sheets are accommodated for feeding each one of the sheets to an image forming apparatus. The device has a casing having a size smaller than a maximum size of the sheets for reducing occupying space of the casing, and sound leakage is avoided by minimizing a gap distance in case of a sheet supplying operation. If A4 size sheets are used, the entire sheets are stored within the sheet supplying device, and a lid member closes an open end portion. Therefore, sound or noise is not leaked to the outside. If A3 size sheets are used, a pull-out segment is pulled out from a side of the sheet supplying device. Part of the sheets are mounted on the pull-out segment and are protruded from the side of the sheet supplying device. In this case, the lid member has a slanting posture. However, a lower portion of the open end portion is closed by the protruded sheets. Any sound directing laterally is shut off by sector plates. Thus, no sound leakage occurs.
