    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a conveyance sensor disposed near a pair of conveyance rollers so as to accurately detect an amount of movement of the recording paper, a conveyance delay determination unit to determine a conveyance delay of the recording paper, and a conveyance control unit to control drive for rollers. The conveyance delay determination unit obtains conveyance delay information from among information detected with the conveyance sensor, or the like, and accelerates a rotational velocity of the pair of paper feed rollers when the conveyance delay quantity exceeds a threshold.

    摘要: A movement amount detecting device performs discrete Fourier transform onto N-th image data and N+1-th image data, thereby generating N-th wave number space data and N+1-th wave number space data. The movement amount detecting device obtains a target speed of a sheet, and determines a cutoff value based on the obtained target speed and an exposure time in an image sensor. The movement amount detecting device calculates an amount of movement of the sheet based on a phase difference between the N-th wave number space data and the N+1-th wave number space data in a wave number component smaller than the cutoff value.
