Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an image forming unit configured to form an image on the basis of image data;
• an intermediate transfer member configured to be driven at a predetermined moving speed, the image being primarily transferred from the image forming unit onto the intermediate transfer member;
• a transfer unit configured to secondarily transfer the image, primarily transferred onto the intermediate transfer member, onto a media at a secondary-transfer position;
• a conveying unit configured to convey the media to the secondary-transfer position where the image, primarily transferred onto the intermediate transfer member, is secondarily transferred onto the media;
• and
• a conveying speed controller configured to control a conveying speed at which the conveying unit conveys the media, wherein
• the conveying unit includes:
• a first detector configured to detect the media;
• and
• a second detector provided downstream of the first detector in the media conveying direction and upstream of the secondary-transfer position in the media conveying direction, wherein
• on the basis of a detection of the media by the first detector and a timing at which the image forming unit forms the image, the conveying speed controller changes the conveying speed of the media until the second detector detects the media, and
• after the second detector detects the media, the conveying speed controller changes the conveying speed of the media to substantially the same as the moving speed of the intermediate transfer member.
