Abstract
An image forming method and apparatus uses an image forming unit including an image carrier and a write unit that forms an image on the image carrier. A moving member moves to transfer, at a transfer position, the image formed on the image carrier and a driving unit rotates and drives the image carrier. A control circuit controls rotation driving of the driving unit on the basis of a rotation state of the image carrier obtained during a predetermined time interval centered on the same rotation position of a preceding rotation as that of a current rotation.
