The invention concerns an improvement of a drive system of a color image forming apparatus. The color image-forming apparatus includes a plurality of image-forming elements; a plurality of first driving motors, each of which corresponds to each of the image-forming elements, to drive the plurality of image-forming elements; an intermediate transfer element that is disposed opposite the plurality of image-forming elements; a second driving motor to drive the intermediate transfer element; and a controlling section to control the plurality of first driving motors and the second driving motor. In the color image-forming apparatus, the controlling section controls the plurality of first driving motors and the second driving motor independently of each other, so that a first peripheral speed of each of the image-forming elements coincides with a second peripheral speed of the intermediate transfer element.
An image-forming apparatus, comprising:
An image-forming apparatus, comprising:
A method for controlling motors equipped in an image-forming apparatus, which includes a plurality of image-forming elements, a plurality of first driving motors to drive said plurality of image-forming elements, an intermediate transfer element disposed opposite said plurality of image-forming elements, and a second driving motor to drive said intermediate transfer element, said method comprising
