Image forming apparatus

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a first sensor to detect at least one of a position of an image on a sheet or a length of the sheet; a first conveyor upstream or downstream of the first sensor in a conveyance direction; a fixing device; and circuitry. The first conveyor includes: a rubber belt; a driving roller within the rubber belt to rotate the rubber belt; a driven roller outside the rubber belt and driven by the rubber belt to convey the sheet in the conveyance direction; and a second sensor to measure a rotational speed of the driven roller. The fixing device is upstream of the first conveyor in the conveyance direction. The fixing device fixes toner onto the sheet. The circuitry is configured to control the first conveyor to convey the sheet at a target linear speed based on the rotational speed measured by the second sensor.
