Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes multiple developing devices, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The multiple developing devices are configured to respectively develop electrostatic latent images formed on an image carrier and correspond to multiple colors. The temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of a first developing device of the multiple developing devices that develops at least a first color of the multiple colors. The controller includes a processor and a memory. The controller is configured to: stop development performed by the first developing device based on the measured temperature of the first developing device; and operate a second developing device of the multiple developing devices to perform development when the first developing device is stopped.
