Abstract:
A control unit performs first control for outputting a second signal based on a first signal in a case where a cycle of the first signal is within a predetermined cycle, and performs second control for outputting a second signal based on a predicted cycle of the first signal in a case where the cycle of the first signal is out of the predetermined cycle.

Claim (Index 14):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein in a case where the cycle of the first signal is out of the predetermined cycle, the control unit determines whether image forming based on an image signal has been performed on a main scanning line where the cycle of the first signal is out of the predetermined cycle, and wherein the control unit performs the second control in a case where the image forming has been performed, and the control unit outputs the second signal based on the first signal in a case where the image forming has not been performed and performs third control in which the driving unit does not accelerate or decelerate based on the cycle of the first signal output from the detection unit.
