Abstract: An image-forming apparatus comprising a process unit above a feed unit. The feed unit receives material which can selectively be fed from rolls of receiving material rotatably placed in drawers in the feed unit. A channel is formed on a panelling part of the feed unit at a working height for a standing operator. It is possible to place a roll of receiving material provided with a hollow core in the channel in order to introduce a spindle into the roll core. After the fitting of the spindle into the core, the operator can, without moving his position, place the roll of receiving material in an open drawer on bearing blocks disposed therein.
