RECORDING-SHEET SUPPLYING APPARATUS AND IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS

A recording-sheet supplying apparatus which supplies recording sheets one by one in a sheet-supply direction, including: a first sheet tray that accommodates first recording sheets; a second sheet tray disposed above the first sheet tray and configured to accommodate at least one second recording sheet; an arm provided so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis located above the second sheet tray, and so as to be in a posture in which a distal end of the arm is located downstream of the pivot axis in the sheet-supply direction; a first sheet-supply roller provided at a first portion of the arm; and a second sheet-supply roller provided at a second portion of the arm nearer to the pivot axis than the first portion, wherein where the second sheet tray is on an upstream side in the sheet-supply direction, only the first sheet-supply roller contacts an uppermost first recording sheet, and where the second sheet tray is on a downstream side in the sheet-supply direction, only the second sheet-supply roller contacts an uppermost second recording sheet.
