A printer includes a pair of registration rollers for feeding a print sheet to a print unit, a first sheet supply unit including a first feed roller that operates, by rotating in synchronization with the pair of registration rollers, an assistant operation to assist sheet-feeding by the pair of registration rollers, a second sheet supply unit including a second feed roller, a drive unit that selectively drives the first and second feed rollers, and a controller that controls the drive unit. When changing over a sheet supply source from the first sheet supply unit to the second sheet supply unit in the assistant operation, the controller finishes the assistant operation before a trailing edge of a print sheet currently fed has passed through the first feed roller by stopping the drive unit. According to the printer, reduction of print productivity can be restricted while reducing noises and feed failures.
