An image-forming device, such as a laser printer, includes a sheet-feed section, an image-forming section, a thermal fixing section, a control section, and a sheet-feed error detecting section. The sheet-feed section is configured to feed a sheet of paper to a sheet conveyance path. The image-forming section is disposed along the sheet conveyance path and configured to form a toner image on the sheet of paper. The thermal fixing section is disposed downstream of the image-forming section with respect to a direction in which the sheet of paper is fed and configured to thermally fix the toner image on the sheet of paper with a predetermined temperature. The control section is configured to control temperature of the thermal fixing section. The sheet-feed error detecting section detects a sheet-feed error which may occur in the sheet-feed section and outputs an error detection signal indicative of occurrence of the sheet-feed error. With the image-forming device thus configured, the control section changes the temperature of the thermal fixing section in response to the error detection signal.
