Abstract
Provided is an image-forming device that improves convenience for a user. The image-forming device includes a plurality of power-supply stages, remaining paper amount detection sensors, and a system control unit. A remaining paper amount detection sensor detects the remaining paper amount in a paper-supply stage. When the remaining paper amount that is detected by the remaining paper amount detection sensor is less than a fixed value, the system control unit sets the paper-supply stage having a paper amount that is less than the fixed value as a FAX use only paper-supply stage.
