Abstract:
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet tray configured to hold sheets, a sheet feeding unit configured to feed sheets from the sheet tray, and a lift unit configured to move the sheet tray up and down. When the type of sheets to be held on the sheet tray is to be changed to another type, the lift unit moves the sheet tray up or down to a sheet holding position set for sheets of the other type. Thus, the position where the sheet tray can hold sheets is changed in accordance with the material or size of the sheets. The largest number, in which sheets can be mounted on the sheet tray, can thereby be changed.

Claim (Index 16):
An image forming system configured to form images on sheets, comprising:\n a housing; a storage box provided in the housing and able to be pulled from the housing; a sheet tray provided in the storage box; a sheet feeding unit configured to feed sheets from the sheet tray; an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet fed; a lift unit configured to move the sheet tray up and down; a sheet-data acquiring unit configured to acquire sheet type data which will be updated to change the type of sheets to be mounted on the sheet tray; a sheet-holding position setting unit configured to set a sheet-holding position at which the sheet tray should hold sheets, on the basis of the sheet type data acquired by the sheet-data acquiring unit; and a control unit configured to control the lift unit, causing the same to move the sheet tray up or down to the sheet holding position set by the sheet-holding position setting unit.
