During a first operation, at least one of a first pattern and a second pattern is formed on a first area of an image carrier, and at least the other pattern is formed on a second area of the image carrier. The first area corresponds to a half of the image carrier, while the second area corresponds to the remaining half of the image carrier. During a second operation, a second pattern is formed on an area of the image carrier where a first pattern is formed during the first operation, and a first pattern is formed on an area of the image carrier where a second pattern is formed during the first operation.

An image formation device is provided with an endless belt wound around a driving roller and a driven roller, a driving helical gear integrally provided at an axial end of the driving roller and rotating integrally with the driving roller. The driving helical gear applies a rotational force and an axial force to the driving roller. A plurality of guiding ribs are provided to an inner surface of the endless belt, while a regulating portion is provided at least one of the driving roller and the driven roller. The regulating portion has a regulation surface. When the endless belt moves obliquely in a direction in which the driving helical gear applies the axial force to the driving roller, side surfaces of the guiding ribs contact the regulating surface and prevent the oblique movement of the endless belt.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, an ejection portion from which a first sheet and a second sheet having images formed in the image forming unit are to be ejected, an ejection tray including a receiving portion configured to receive the sheet ejected from the ejection portion, and a stopper portion disposed on a downstream side of the ejection tray in a sheet ejection direction further than the ejection portion. The receiving portion has first and second recessed portions, which are recessed downward therefrom. The stopper portion is configured to stop the sheet ejected from the ejection portion. The recessed portions are located downstream from the ejection portion and upstream from the stopper portion in the sheet ejection direction, and spaced apart from each other at least in the sheet ejection direction.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming section; a fixation section having a heating mechanism and a roller arranged to face the heating mechanism; a temperature detector for detecting temperature of the fixation section; and a controller for performing a first heating-control in a first heating mode to raise the temperature of the fixation section at a first changing rate, and a second heating-control in a second heating mode to change the temperature of the fixation section at a second changing rate lower than the first changing rate upon rotating the roller when the temperature of the fixation section has reached an intermediate target temperature. The controller performs the first and second heating-controls, respectively, at the time of startup of the fixation section at least once until the temperature of the fixation section reaches a final target temperature.
