Claim:
1. An image-forming apparatus that forms an image on a sheet of continuous recording medium, the apparatus comprising: an image-forming portion that receives the sheet of continuous recording medium and forms the image on the sheet of continuous recording medium; a sheet position sensor that measures a position of the sheet of continuous recording medium along a width direction thereof, the width direction being perpendicular to a conveying direction of the sheet of continuous recording medium conveyed to the image-forming portion; and a control portion that controls at least one of start time of image-forming operation in the image-forming portion and an image-writing position of the image-forming portion by fixing at least one of the start time of the image-forming operation in the image-forming portion and the image-writing position of the image-forming portion, based on positional measurement data about the position of the sheet of continuous recording medium along the width direction thereof, the positional measurement data being measured by the sheet position sensor, wherein the control portion controls the image-forming portion to start forming the image on the sheet of continuous recording medium when determining that a vibration of the sheet of continuous recording medium along the width direction thereof becomes stable based on the positional measurement data from the sheet position sensor.
