Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion, an intermediary transfer member, a secondary transfer member, a cleaning blade, first and second feeding portions, and a controller. In the case where a recording material feeding source is changed from the first feeding portion to the second feeding portion, when a position of a leading end of an untransferred toner image is an untransferred toner image leading end, and a position of a leading end of an image forming region in which a first toner image after resumption of image formation is formable is a post-resumption image leading end, the controller controls the image forming portion to carry out control in which the image formation is resumed so that the untransferred toner image leading end first passes through a primary transfer portion and then the post-resumption image leading end first reaches the primary transfer portion.
