Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a feeding unit for feeding a recording material, and a calculating unit for calculating a degree of deterioration of the feeding unit, while making correction depending on stiffness of the recording material and a content of a filler contained in the recording material.

Claim (Index 36):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a feeding member configured to feed a recording material; a detecting unit configured to detect a characteristic value of the recording material; a discriminating unit configured to discriminate the species of the recording material from the characteristic value of the recording material detected by the detecting unit; and an obtaining unit configured to obtain the degree of deterioration of the feeding member on the basis of stiffness of the recording material corresponding to the species of the recording material discriminated by the discriminating unit.
