An image forming apparatus is provided that is aimed to control adverse impacts on a printing quality caused by the meandering motion of a printing belt and changes of a feeding speed. The image forming apparatus includes: one or more printing portions that print a printing object on paper; a belt in a form of a loop, the belt serving to transport the paper to a printing position; a roller that feeds the belt; a phase detector that detects a phase of the belt; a behavior detector that detects a behavior of the belt; a controller that decides a paper setting position on the belt based on the behavior of the belt for each phase; and a paper feeder that transports the paper to the paper setting position.
