Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a control unit performing a first rotation control process of switching on and off current-supplying in accordance with a change in a first deviation between a first rotation speed of a brushless motor and a target speed regardless of a change in an integrated value of the first deviation; a second rotation control process of calculating an integrated value of a second deviation between a second rotation speed of the brushless motor and the target speed, and switching on and off the current-supplying in accordance with a change in the second deviation and a change in the integrated value of the second deviation; and a rotation control switching process of switching to the second rotation control process when it is determined that the first deviation has entered a prescribed range during the first rotation control process.
