ABSTRACT:
When a print request signal for a single sheet is input after a sheet feeding cassette has been reset, lapse of a reference time “t” is waited after switching of a sheet feeding roller has been performed. After a sheet-pressing plate has been lifted from a loading position to a feeding position, rotational driving of the sheet feeding roller is performed, thereby effecting sheet-feeding operation. When a print request signal for a second sheet or subsequent sheets is input, the sheet-pressing plate has already been in the feeding position, and hence the rotational driving of the sheet feeding roller is performed immediately after switching of the paper-feeding roller12has been performed.
