Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an image forming unit configured to form a toner image on a recording material;
• a fixing unit comprising a fixing member configured to fix the toner image to the recording material, and a pressure member configured to abut against the fixing member and form a first nip portion configured to nip and convey the recording material;
• a first drive unit configured to rotate the fixing member,
• a conveyance portion arranged downstream of the first nip portion in a conveyance direction of the recording material and configured to form a second nip portion configured to nip and convey the recording material, the second nip portion being arranged at a position where a distance from the first nip portion is shorter than a length of the recording material being conveyed;
• a second drive unit configured to rotate the conveyance portion;
• and
• a control unit configured to execute, during an image forming job of forming an image on the recording material, a conveyance mode of conveying the recording material so that the recording material is not looped between the first nip portion and the second nip portion prior to a predetermined timing during passing of the recording material of the first nip portion, and conveying the recording material so that the recording material is looped toward the pressure member from the predetermined timing until a trailing edge of the recording material has passed through the first nip portion.
