Abstract
Feeding roller pairs are respectively constituted of a capstan roller and a nip roller. The nip roller is movable between a nip position and a release position. When movement timing of the nip rollers overlap, a pulse motor for moving the nip rollers is successively driven. For example, a drive-pulse speed for the pulse motor is detected at the moment that the downstream nip roller is moved to the nip position (at the moment that a predetermined time has passed after detecting a recording-paper sheet with a position sensor). And then, the drive-pulse speed is changed in accordance with the detected drive-pulse speed to drive the pulse motor at a prescribed speed.
