SHEET STORAGE CASSETTE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A sheet storage cassette can include a sheet supporting board and a restriction guide. The sheet supporting board can support at least one sheet thereon. The restriction guide can be arranged on the sheet supporting board and include a sheet holding surface that is substantially perpendicular to the sheet support board. The restriction guide can further include a mark indicated part at an upper side thereof, where the mark indicated part can extend at least partly along a plane that intersects a plane of the holding surface and can indicate a maximum storage capacity level of the sheet storage cassette.
1 . A sheet storage cassette, comprising:
a sheet supporting board configured to support at least one sheet thereon; and
a restriction guide arranged on the sheet supporting board and including a sheet holding surface substantially perpendicular to the sheet supporting board;
wherein the restriction guide includes a mark indicated part at an upper side thereof, the mark indicated part extending at least partly along a plane that intersects a plane of the sheet holding surface, and indicating a maximum storage capacity level of the sheet storage cassette.
2 . The sheet storage cassette of claim 1 , wherein the mark indicated part includes a plane.
3 . The sheet storage cassette of claim 1 , wherein the mark indicated part includes an inclined surface that inclines toward the sheet holding surface.
4 . The sheet storage cassette of claim 3 , wherein an angle between the mark indicated part and an upper surface of the sheet supporting board is an obtuse angle.
5 . The sheet storage cassette of claim 4 , wherein the angle is between 110° and 150°, inclusive of 110° and 150°.
6 . The sheet storage cassette of claim 1 , wherein the mark indicated part is arranged at a level of a maximum storage capacity of the sheet storage cassette.
7 . The sheet storage cassette of claim 1 , wherein the sheet storage cassette includes a plurality of the restriction guides.
8 . The sheet storage cassette of claim 1 , wherein the sheet storage cassette includes a pair of restriction guides that face toward each other.
9 . An image forming apparatus, comprising:
a sheet storage cassette according to claim 1 .
