Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a flag, a sensor, a loop controller, a detector, and an image controller. The flag is disposed between the first and second conveying units and moves when in contact with a recording material having a loop. A signal value output from the sensor varies per a flag position. The loop controller changes a recording material speed based on the signal value output. The detector detects the recording material or an image formed on the recording material and the image controller changes an image forming condition based on the detection. The detector includes first and second contacting members that move to nip the recording material. A position of the flag, for changing a signal value output from the sensor, is included in a range in which first and second contacting members are movable.
