Abstract

The present invention concerns an image-forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording material, an area of which is wider than that of a standard fixed-form size having a predetermined fixed-form size, based on an original image recorded on a document. The image-forming apparatus includes a plurality of recording material storing devices in each of which the recording material can be stored; an input section to establish information in regard to a size of the recording material stored in one of the recording material storing devices, as setting information corresponding to each of the recording material storing devices; a memory section to store the setting information corresponding to each of the recording material storing devices; and a control section to determine controlling conditions based on the setting information and to control operations of the image-forming apparatus based on the controlling conditions; wherein the setting information include the standard fixed-form size and longitudinal and lateral lengths of the recording material.
