Image forming apparatus and control device

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a conveyance section that conveys a recording medium along a conveyance path. The image forming apparatus includes a floating detector including a light projector and a light receiver and that detects floating of the recording medium based on a light reception result by the light receiver of light emitted from the light projector and passing above the conveyance path. The image forming apparatus includes a temperature detector that detects a temperature in an optical path of the light. The image forming apparatus includes a variable mechanism that changes an emission direction of the light from the light projector. The image forming apparatus includes circuitry to control an operation of the variable mechanism based on the temperature detected by the temperature detector.
