Abstract: The rolled-paper feed unit for an image forming apparatus of the present invention comprises; a movable body for reeling out and feeding rolled paper and for cutting the rolled paper into a cut sheet having a predetermined length; and a stationary frame which holds the movable body vertically moved from an upper position where the rolled paper is fed to a lowered retreat position where the operator is adapted to carry out certain operations. When feeding the rolled paper to the image forming apparatus main body, the movable body is held at the upper position. When resupplying cut paper to a cassette mounted on the image forming apparatus, or executing a jam processing or the like, the movable body is lowered.
