ABSTRACT:
A paper supply cassette includes a separately formed case, accommodating unit cover, and handle part. A separating mechanism for separating and conveying paper stacked in the case one sheet at a time is supported in a support unit provided on the front side surface of the case. Generally, high precision is required when mounting the separating mechanism into the paper supply cassette, and the separating mechanism must be demonstrated to have sufficient separating performance prior to shipping the product. When modifications are made to the design of the laser printer, it is possible to reuse the case while replacing the handle part with a new part, thereby eliminating the time and effort required to redesign the separating mechanism and to demonstrate its separating performance.
