An integrated cartridge is provided, which includes a printing medium receiving groove in which a printing medium is loaded; a feeding mounting hole and a take-up bobbin mounting hole are formed; a feeding bobbin mounted in the feeding bobbin mounting hole; a take-up bobbin mounted in the take-up bobbin mounting hole; and a first opening disposed between the feeding bobbin and the take-up bobbin configured to draw out the printing medium.

In an image-forming apparatus, when a sheet length of a first sheet is shorter than or equal to a predetermined length, a controller supplies power to an electromagnetic clutch to convey the first sheet and a second sheet so that a sheet gap of the second sheet is equivalent to a first gap. When the sheet length of the first sheet is longer than the predetermined length, the controller supplies power to the electromagnetic clutch to successively convey a first number of sheets so that the sheet gap of each of the first number of sheets is equivalent to the first gap. After the first number of sheets has been conveyed, the controller supplies power to the electromagnetic clutch to convey at least one sheet so that the sheet gap of each of the at least one sheet is equivalent to a second gap greater than the first gap.

A liquid ejection apparatus includes a conveying unit, a winding unit, a printing unit, and a rotation control unit. The conveying unit is configured to intermittently convey a printing medium by a predetermined feed amount. The winding unit is configured to wind the printing medium conveyed by the conveying unit. The printing unit is configured to perform printing on the conveyed printing medium. The rotation control unit is configured to control the winding unit to rotate in a winding direction at a predetermined timing after the conveying unit has started to convey the printing medium intermittently, and then cause the winding unit to rotate in a reverse direction opposite to the winding direction.

An image formation apparatus includes: a sheet feeder that conveys a paper fed from a sheet feed tray; a conveyance cylinder that includes a gripper that grips the paper, and receives the paper conveyed on the sheet feeder and conveys the paper to a position of a printing part in a state where the paper is gripped by the gripper; and a heater that is provided on an upstream side of the conveyance cylinder in a conveyance direction and heats the paper so as to satisfy a temperature condition of following Expression (1):
|T1−T2|/T1<0.15   Expression (1)
where T1 is a temperature [° C.] of a paper end of the paper at the position of the printing part, and T2 is a temperature [° C.] of the paper end of the paper when the paper is transferred from the sheet feeder to the conveyance cylinder.
