Abstract
An image forming apparatus which allows a user to freely select a desired image quality is provided. The control unitsets a of registration set value Afor determining a color registration error suppression level and a dropout set value Afor determining a dropout occurrence suppression level. Also, the control unitsets a differential circumferential speed which is the difference between the circumferential speed of photoreceptor drumsY toK and the circumferential speed of an intermediate transfer belton the basis of the color registration set value Aand the dropout set value A. Then, the control unitcontrols the belt drive motorand the drum drive motoron the basis of the differential circumferential speed which is set.
