ABSTRACT:
A cassette is used by being mounted on an image forming apparatus body and can be accommodated in a state where media, which will be supplied to the image forming apparatus body, are loaded. The cassette includes a first tray, a second tray, a slide mechanism, and a power transmission mechanism. The first tray is able to contain multiple media. The second tray is able to contain multiple media. The slide mechanism allows the first tray and the second tray to be movable relative to each other. The power transmission mechanism moves the first tray and the second tray relative to each other by input power in a direction in which a paper feeding tray can be switched. The power transmission mechanism is provided with a gear that receives the power, wherein the gear can be displaced in a cassette insertion direction in which the cassette is inserted.
