A cutting means which cuts the image recording medium into a prescribed size has an X-cut means to cut the image recording medium in the direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the conveyance means in accordance with the X-cut size information and a Y-cut means to cut the image recording medium in the direction perpendicular to the cutting direction of the X-cut in accordance with the Y-cut size information.

Abstract: A decision circuit (10) monitors a main current flowing in an IGBT (1), and when operation of the IGBT (1) enters an overcurrent state and the control voltage applied to the control terminal (G) of the IGBT (1) is equal to or larger than the threshold voltage, it determines that the IGBT (1) is in the overcurrent state and places the IGBT (1) in an OFF state, and also outputs the result of the determination as an output signal to an external microcomputer from an error output terminal (9). Receiving this output signal, the microcomputer immediately fixes driving signals for the IGBT (1) and another IGBTs at an OFF signal level to disconnect these IGBTs, thus preventing the main current of the IGBT (1) from increasing to a still larger overcurrent to protect the IGBT (1). Generation of a turn-off surge voltage is suppressed in the overcurrent state by detecting the overcurrent state of the power transistor by earlier timing.
