Abstract
Paper-feed control of an image-forming apparatus, in which the control unit has a paper-feed-motor-drive-controller for controlling a paper-feed-motor. The paper-feed-motor rotating a resist roller and a paper ejection-roller for feeding printing paper. The paper-feed-motor is controlled to perform a plurality of paper-feeds of predetermined width on a sheet of printing paper. An image is formed on the sheet of printing paper after respective paper-feed. The paper-feed-motor is controlled by the paper-feed-motor-controller to perform the paper-feed such that the end of the printing paper remains in contact with the resist roller from which the end of the paper leaves after the final paper-feed.
