ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus capable of simplifying work for removing a sheet by a user after a jam occurs. An image is formed on a sheet having a predetermined length cut from a rolled-sheet. A cutting mechanism is provided in a halfway portion of a conveying path through which the sheet passes. When a jam occurs in the conveying path, the cutting mechanism is operated, whereby the sheet is cut. The sheet in the apparatus can be immediately removed, therefore.
