Abstract
An image-forming device includes an image-forming section, a separating/feeding section that separates and feeds sheets of paper from a stack into the image-forming section one sheet at a time, a pressing plate disposed on the opposite side of the stacked paper from the separating/feeding section, and a drive section that drives the pressing plate. The drive section drives the pressing plate toward the separating/feeding section when the separating/feeding section is in contact with the paper and driving of the separating/feeding section has stopped.
