Image processor having recording paper cutting control
 Transportation of a document (P1), transportation of a recording sheet (P2), activation of a cutter system and simultaneous transportation of the document (P1) and recording sheet (P2) are carried out by a single motor (M) in an image processor (1). A first pendulum gear mechanism (16) selectively transmits the drive force of the motor (M) to a separation roller gear (g12) and a feed roller gear (g14), to a platen roller gear (g20) or to a second pendulum gear mechanism (g17). The second pendulum gear mechanism (17) continues or stops transmission of the rotational force of the motor (M) from the first pendulum gear mechanism (16) to a cutter drive gear (g28). Second and third contact parts (40c, 40d) of a regulating plate (40) regulate movement of the first pendulum gear mechanism (16) and change the transmission destination of the rotational force of the motor (M). The position of the regulating plate (40) and the rotation direction of the motor (M) are controlled by a CPU (50).
