    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a control portion that performs a double-side image forming mode after performing a single-side image forming mode on a predetermined number of sheets in a state in which a heating unit is not attached to a sheet storage portion. The control portion sets an arrival timing of a first sheet to a transfer portion in the double-side image forming mode to be later than an arrival timing of a first sheet to the transfer portion in the double-side image forming mode in a case the control portion performs the double-side image forming mode after performing the single-side image forming mode on the predetermined number of sheets in a state in which the heating unit is attached to the sheet storage portion.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus which performs an adjustment operation at appropriate timing. Whether to execute a first or a second adjustment processes is controlled based on the number of sheets on which images are formed. A first adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached a first number since a previous first adjustment process was executed. A second adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached a second number since a previous second adjustment process was executed. The first adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached the first number prior to a designated time by a predetermined period. The second adjustment operation is skipped in a case where the number of sheets has reached the second number prior to the designated time by the predetermined period.
