Abstract:
1. A recording medium feeding device comprising: a first rotating member that picks up a recording medium; a second rotating member that transports the recording medium picked up by the first rotating member; a driving gear unit that rotates and transmits a driving force; a first transmission mechanism that includes a first gear, wherein, when the driving force of the driving gear unit is transmitted, the first transmission mechanism transmits the driving force in a first rotation direction to the first rotating member and the second rotating member; a second transmission mechanism that includes a second gear, wherein, when the driving force of the driving gear unit is transmitted, the second transmission mechanism transmits the driving force in a second rotation direction, which is opposite to the first rotation direction, to the first rotating member; and a transmission adjusting portion that transmits a rotation of either one of the first gear or the second gear to either one of the first transmission mechanism or the second transmission mechanism as the driving force, wherein the first gear rotates in the first rotation direction when the first gear engages with the driving gear unit, the second gear rotates in the second rotation direction when the second gear engages with the driving gear unit, and the driving gear unit engages so as to overlap with both the first gear and the second gear within a predetermined range.
