Abstract:
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus that reduces image artifacts caused by the back tension of a separating unit. A control unit decreases the number of rotations (the rotational speed) of a resist roller pair after the leading edge of a sheet reaches a transfer position.

Claim (Index 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 3 ,\n wherein, by flattening of the loop of the sheet formed between the nip portion and the conveying unit, the conveyance speed of the sheet by the conveying unit changes to a fourth speed that is slower than the first speed, and wherein, before the leading edge of the sheet reaches the transfer unit, the control unit changes the conveyance speed of the sheet by the conveying unit from the fourth speed to the first speed.
