Abstract:
An image forming apparatus temporarily stores, in an image memory, image data generated by a front surface reading unit and a back surface reading unit for reading images of a front surface and a back surface of an original respectively. A CPU of an image forming apparatus, at a time of starting a copy job, sets an output frequency of the image memory (transfer rate of image data) to a first frequency F 1  that is lower than a second frequency F 2.  The CPU sets the output frequency of the image memory to the second frequency F 2  when transfer of the image data of the first page which corresponds to the front surface of a first original completes.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a first reading unit and a second reading unit configured to respectively read images of a first surface and a second surface of an original conveyed through a conveyance path, and to generate image data; a first storage unit configured to temporarily store the image data generated by the first reading unit and the second reading unit; a setting unit configured to set a transfer rate for when image data is transferred from the first storage unit; a transfer unit configured to transfer the image data stored in the first storage unit at the transfer rate set by the setting unit, for image formation based on the image data; a second storage unit configured to store the image data transferred by the transfer unit; and an image forming unit configured to form an image based on the image data stored in the second storage unit, wherein the setting unit, at a time of starting a job for copying an image of an original, sets the transfer rate to a first transfer rate which is lower than a second transfer rate, and sets the transfer rate to the second transfer rate when transfer of image data of a first page corresponding to the first surface of a first original completes.
