An image forming apparatus using a roll includes a power shutdown operation detector to detect an operation of shutting down power supply to the apparatus; a power supply switching unit to switch power supply condition to the apparatus; and an apparatus controller to control the apparatus. The apparatus controller controls a roll setting operation to set the roll ready for an image outputting operation, and controls the power supply switching unit based on detection of an operation that shuts down the power supply. The apparatus controller confirms whether the power shutdown operation detector detects the power shutdown operation when the roll setting operation is being conducted. When an operation that shuts down the power supply is detected, the apparatus controller aborts the roll setting operation and shuts down power supply to the apparatus.
