Patent ID: 8725041

Claim:
An image forming apparatus comprising: a photosensitive body for carrying toner images; a transfer section for nipping a recording sheet at a position facing the photosensitive body, and transferring the toner images carried on the photosensitive body onto a recording sheet; a driving section for driving the photosensitive body; and a control section for giving instructions to the driving section to conduct a velocity control to rotate the photosensitive body at a predetermined velocity, wherein the control section sets a gain of velocity control to be greater than normal condition, at a time which is at least one of a time when the recording sheet enters the transfer section, or a time when the recording sheet separates from the transfer section, and wherein the control section does not change the gain, if an exposure operation and a developing operation are not conducted on the photosensitive body, though the recording sheet is at a time for going to enter the transfer section or the recording sheet is at a time for going to separate from the transfer section.
