The controller is operable to controlling the sheet feeding unit for a cleaning operation of the pair of feed rollers, before the waste portion is cut away, so as to hold the sheet and drive the pair of feed rollers in contact with the waste portion of the sheet. According to the image-forming system, the pair of feed rollers can be easily cleaned up by effectively utilizing the waste portion.
