Abstract

A feeding device includes a set plate, a feeding unit, a fan, a heater, a control unit and a temperature and humidity sensor. When the control unit receives a feeding start command, if the sheet to be fed by the feeding unit is coated paper, the control unit performs condition determination processing to determine whether an internal environment satisfies a predetermined condition. When the control unit determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the control unit starts driving of the fan and the heater, and then starts the feeding of the sheet. When the feeding of the sheet is completed, the control unit stops the driving of the heater and continues the driving of the fan regardless of whether the internal environment satisfies the predetermined condition.
