1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an accommodating part configured to accommodate a roll body in which a sheet-like medium is wound in a roll shape;
an apparatus main body provided with a conveyer configured to convey the sheet-like medium unwound from the roll body in a conveying direction and an image forming engine configured to form an image on the sheet-like medium;
an electrically driven cutter configured to cut the sheet-like medium conveyed by the conveyer in an intersecting direction intersecting the conveying direction;
a cover configured to take a closed position for forming an exposable portion of a conveying path for the sheet-like medium downstream in the conveying direction from the cutter with the apparatus main body, and an open position at least partially separated from the apparatus main body to expose the exposable portion of the conveying path to the outside;
a detector configured to detect a conveyance jam of the sheet-like medium conveyed to the conveying path by the conveyer at a position downstream in the conveying direction from the exposable portion of the conveying path;
a notifier configured to execute a notifying operation for making notification to a user; and
a controller configured to cause the notifier to execute the notifying operation including prompting the user to cut off the sheet-like medium which has caused the conveyance jam at an arbitrary position in the exposable portion of the conveying path when the detector detects the conveyance jam of the sheet-like medium.
