Abstract: A sheet guiding system guides different sized sheets so as to be fed in a first direction. Sheets stacked on a sheet tray are guided by selectively using a fixed guide, a first movable guide, and a second movable guide. The fixed guide is provided on the sheet tray immovably in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first and second movable guides are provided on the sheet tray and are movable in the second direction. The fixed guide and the first movable guide are used to sandwich and guide the sheets that have a first dimension in the second direction equal to or larger than a predetermined dimension, which is, for example, a width of an A4 size sheet. The first and second movable guides are used to sandwich and guide the sheets that have a second dimension in the second direction smaller than the predetermined dimension.

Abstract: An image printing apparatus includes an image printing unit, a manual feed tray and a feeding mechanism. The manual feed tray is configured to receive a first printing medium to be fed and is movable between a feeding position and a retracted position. The feeding mechanism is configured to feed a specific tray, on which a second printing medium is mounted, from an inlet to the image printing unit through a first path. The feeding mechanism is further configured to feed the first printing medium received by the manual feed tray to the image printing unit through a second path different from the first path. The image printing apparatus further includes a sensor configured to detect a current position of the manual feed tray. The image printing apparatus performs printing on the second printing medium mounted on the specific tray on the basis of the current position of the manual feed tray detected by the sensor.
