Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a first rotatable member; a second rotatable member that presses against the first rotatable member in a pressed state and separates from the first rotatable member in a separated state; and a hardware processor that sets a target speed of the second rotatable member based on a change in speed of the second rotatable member between a first speed in the separated state and a second speed in the pressed state.
Claims10
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first rotatable member;
- a second rotatable member that presses against the first rotatable member in a pressed state and separates from the first rotatable member in a separated state;
- and
- a hardware processor that:
- obtains first information on a first speed of the second rotatable member in the separated state and second information on a second speed of the second rotatable member in the pressed state,
- obtains a change in speed of the second rotatable member between the first and second speeds based on the first and second information,
- based on the change in speed, determines a speed of the second rotatable member at which the second rotatable member has a surface speed equal to a surface speed of the first rotatable member, and
- sets the determined speed as a target speed of the second rotatable member.
