Image forming apparatus

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes: a first image forming unit that includes plural first image forming sections and a first intermediate transfer member on which a toner image formed by the plural first image forming sections is primarily transferred; a second image forming unit that is provided on a downstream side of the first image forming unit in a paper transport direction and includes plural second image forming sections and a second intermediate transfer member on which a toner image formed by the plural second image forming sections is primarily transferred; a first secondary transfer section that is provided corresponding to the first image forming unit and secondarily transfers the toner image formed on the first intermediate transfer member onto paper transported on a paper transport path; a second secondary transfer section that is provided corresponding to the second image forming unit and secondarily transfers the toner image formed on the second intermediate transfer member onto paper transported on a paper transport path; and a paper position adjusting roll that transports fed paper, at a predetermined timing, to a first secondary transfer position at which the first secondary transfer section performs secondary transfer, in which a distance between the paper position adjusting roll and a second secondary transfer position at which the second secondary transfer section performs the secondary transfer is longer than a maximum paper length that is a transport-direction length of paper having a largest paper size among sheets of paper having a probability of being used.
