Image forming apparatus

Abstract

An image forming apparatus forms a latent image on the basis of a signal outputted at a constant time interval, and also forms the image on a sheet by developing the latent image in an image forming section. In the image forming apparatus, a resist roller pair arranged on the upstream side of the image forming section and able to change a conveying speed re-feeds the sheet after the sheet is stopped for a predetermined time. A controller starts the conveyance of the sheet re-fed by the resist roller pair where a speed higher than an image forming speed in the image forming section, and controls the speed of the resist roller pair so as to be equal to the image forming speed at a position before a predetermined distance from the image forming section. The controller sets the conveying speed at a high speed conveying time in the resist roller pair so as to be equal to the image forming speed at the position before the predetermined distance from the image forming section.
