Abstract
An image forming apparatus may include a conveyor conveying continuous paper. The apparatus may also include a speed detector that contacts the continuous paper conveyed by the conveyor to detect a conveyance speed of the continuous paper. The apparatus may also include a hardware processor that controls the conveyor based on a detection result detected by the speed detector so that the conveyance speed of the continuous paper reaches a target value. The hardware processor may adjust the target value based on at least one of information about the continuous paper and information about a job.
