Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first drive source of a first roller and a third roller, a second drive source of a second roller, and a control unit, which is configured to perform a first control of changing a conveying speed of a sheet by the first roller from a reference speed in order to adjust timing at which the sheet reaches an image forming region until a front end of the sheet reaches a first position between the first roller and the image forming region. The control unit is configured to control a feeding timing of a second sheet to be fed to a main conveyance path after a first sheet so that the first control is not executed while the first sheet is being conveyed by both the second roller and the third roller.
