Claim:
An image generating apparatus comprising: an apparatus body so formed that a paper cassette storing a paper is mountable thereon; and first and second rollers for feeding said paper from said paper cassette to said apparatus body, having rotating axes arranged in a second direction substantially perpendicular to a first direction for feeding said paper, wherein said second roller is arranged at a position further in said first direction than a position at which said first roller is arranged and so formed as to have a length exceeding the width of said paper in said second direction, said paper cassette includes a pressing portion employed for pressing a first side surface of said paper rearward with respect to said first direction when said paper cassette stores said paper and the pressing portion arranged so that the distance from said second roller to the pressing portion is smaller than the length of said paper in said first direction when said paper cassette is mounted on said apparatus body, and said pressing portion is provided on a first inner side surface of said paper cassette opposite to a direction for inclining said paper with said first roller when said first roller feeds said paper to said apparatus body, and wherein said paper cassette further includes a first regulating portion for regulating said first side surface of said paper on said first inner side surface of said paper cassette, said first regulating portion being arranged at a position further in said first direction than a position at which said pressing portion is arranged, wherein the first regulating portion is operatively configured to regulate the first side surface of the paper at a fixed regulating position; and wherein the pressing portion is operatively configured to press the first side surface of the paper rearward with respect to the first direction at an inner position of the paper cassette in the second direction further in than the fixed regulation position at which the first regulating portion regulates the first side surface of the paper.
