Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a control unit configured to execute a sheet discharge mode. If a case where a distance between the leading edge and the nip portion is a first distance is a first case, and a case where a distance between the leading edge of the sheet and the nip portion is a second distance shorter than the first distance and the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit is the same as that in the first case is a second case, the control unit is configured to set a conveyance speed of the sheet in discharging the sheet toward the nip portion in the second case to be slower than that in the first case, in the sheet discharge mode.
