ABSTRACT:
A sheet feeding mechanism comprises a sheet supporter, a pick-up roller, and a guide. The sheet supporter is capable of supporting a plurality of sheets in a stacked manner. The pick-up roller rotates in contact with a surface of, among the plurality of sheets supported by the sheet supporter, the endmost sheet in the stacking direction, to thereby pick up and convey the sheet. The guide has a surface that extends along a predetermined conveyance direction for the sheet. A line segment, between a center of the pick-up roller with respect to a direction of its rotation axis and a point at which the rotation axis intersects with the surface of the guide, forms an acute angle with a line segment extending forward in the predetermined conveyance direction from the point at which the rotation axis intersects with the surface of the guide.
