Abstract
An image is formed on roll paper,while a loop,of roll paper is formed between cutter,and roll paper feed rollers,is formed. At a timing when roll paper feed rollers,stop, an upstream portion of loop,in the paper feed direction is cut. A nipping member upstream of the cutter in the paper feed direction is provided to nip the front end of the roll paper. Further, a movable guide for the roll paper guides the paper to form a loop in a direction to correct curling of the roll paper. Thus an image formation apparatus is provided which is easy to handle and enables formation of an image on a recording paper having a large feed paper direction length, despite its small size.
