Image forming apparatus for changing pre-processing condition of image carrier based on paper feed position

Abstract

An image forming apparatus is provided with an image carrier which rotates while carrying an electrostatic latent image, developer for developing the electrostatic latent image on the image carrier, transfer drum for transferring the developed image on the image carrier onto a recording medium in a transfer unit, a first storage unit for storing a recording medium to be fed to the transfer unit, and a second storage unit for storing a recording medium to be fed to the transfer unit, the second storage unit having a short feed time to the transfer unit. An electrostatic latent image forming condition is changed in correspondence with the number of revolutions of the image carrier, and a change in electrostatic latent image forming condition is controlled in correspondence with the storage unit which stores the recording medium to be fed.
