ABSTRACT:
A sheet feed device includes a motor that rotates in a first and second direction, a first transmitting mechanism having an upstream and a downstream portion, that transmits a rotational force in a first transmitting direction, a second transmitting mechanism having an upstream and downstream portion, that transmits the rotational force in a second transmitting direction, a first idling mechanism, and a second idling mechanism. When the motor transitions between rotating in the first direction and rotating in the second direction, the first idling mechanism allows the upstream portion of the first transmitting mechanism to perform an idle rotation with respect to the downstream portion of the first transmitting mechanism, and the second idling mechanism is configured to allow the upstream portion of the second transmitting mechanism to perform an idle rotation with respect to the downstream portion of the second transmitting mechanism.
