Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a transfer unit, a fixing unit, a conveyance unit, and a control unit. The control unit selectively performs a plurality of modes including a first mode and a second mode. The first mode is a mode in which, when a grammage of a sheet is a first grammage, if a leading edge of the sheet has reached the fixing unit, the control unit controls the first suction unit such that suction force of the first suction unit becomes first suction force. The second mode is a mode in which, when the grammage of the sheet is a second grammage smaller than the first grammage, if a leading edge of the sheet has reached the fixing unit, the control unit controls the first suction unit such that the suction force of the first suction unit becomes second suction force smaller than the first suction force.

Abstract: In an image-forming apparatus, a controller is configured to perform: in a case where the controller performs forming a multicolor image on a sheet: bringing, in response to a temperature of a fixing device reaching a first temperature lower than a fixing temperature, first and second developing rollers into contact with first and second photosensitive drums; and feeding, after a first period of time elapses from a time when the temperature of the fixing device reaches the first temperature, a sheet from a sheet tray toward the belt using a pickup roller. The controller is configured to further perform: in a case where the controller performs forming a single-color image on the sheet: bringing, after a second period of time elapses from the time when the temperature of the fixing device reaches the first temperature, the second developing roller into contact with the second photosensitive drum; and the feeding.

Abstract: A transfer device includes an intermediate transferor and primary transfer sections. The primary transfer sections each includes a primary transferor. The primary transfer sections include a most-upstream primary transfer section and a most-downstream primary transfer section. One of the primary transfer sections is a special-color primary transfer section switchable between the most-upstream primary transfer section and the most-downstream primary transfer section. The primary transferor of each of the most-upstream primary transfer section and the most-downstream primary transfer section is switchable between a contact position at which the primary transferor contacts the latent image bearer and a separation position at which the primary transferor is separated from the latent image bearer. With only the primary transferor of the special-color primary transfer section at the separation position, the primary transferor of any other primary transfer section than the special-color primary transfer section is arranged at the contact position to transfer an image.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form a visible image and a bonding pattern on a sheet, and a bonding unit configured to heat a plurality of sheets in a stacked state, to bond the plurality of sheets together via the bonding pattern. The bonding pattern includes a first side portion, a second side portion, a third side portion, a first corner portion, a second corner portion, and a third corner portion. The second corner portion and the third corner portion are curved such that a minimum value of a radius of curvature of the second corner portion and a minimum value of a radius of curvature of the third corner portion are greater than a minimum value of a radius of curvature of the first corner portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a unit, a housing, an outer cover, a lock, a detector, and circuitry. The unit is disposed in the image forming apparatus. The housing stores a toner bottle and has an insertion opening and an inner cover openably closable the insertion opening. The outer cover is openably closable to expose the inner cover and the unit or cover the inner cover and the unit. The lock locks the inner cover at a closed position. The detector detects an amount of toner remaining in the toner bottle. The circuitry controls the lock to unlock the inner cover based on the amount of the toner detected by the detector.
