Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an accommodating portion, an image forming unit, a skew correcting portion, a conveyance unit, a detection unit, a re-conveyance unit, and a control unit. The control unit controls the re-conveyance unit such that the re-conveyance unit stops a sheet in the second conveyance path temporarily and starts to convey the sheet at a first timing after a second timing and before a third timing, where the second timing is a timing such that if the sheet is started to convey to the first conveyance path at the second timing, the conveyance unit decelerates the conveyance speed when the sheet reaches to the detection unit, and the third timing is a timing such that if the sheet is started to convey to the first conveyance path at the third timing, the conveyance unit decelerates the conveyance speed when the sheet reaches to the skew correcting portion.
