First and second sensors are disposed downstream and upstream of a conveyance path, respectively. A first head is disposed between the first sensor and the second sensor opposite to a first platen with the conveyance path interposed between the first head and the first platen. The first head pressurizing force adjusting device adjusts a pressurizing force of the first head to the first platen. A second head is disposed between the first head and the second sensor opposite to a second platen with the conveyance path interposed between the second head and the second platen. The second head pressurizing force adjusting device adjusts a pressurizing force of the second head to the second platen. The control unit controls the second head pressurizing force adjusting device to separate the second head from the second platen if a tailing end of the recording medium escapes from the second sensor.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
A method of adjusting a head pressurizing force, comprising separating a head upstream in a recording medium conveyance direction from a platen being opposed to the head and controlling a conveyance speed of the recording medium to be lower than a typical conveyance speed if a tailing end of a recording medium escapes from a sensor that detects the tailing end of the recording medium.
