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.
