Image forming apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses an image forming apparatus. The image forming device comprises an image forming part, a discharge port, a conveying part and a kind obtaining part. The image forming part formsan image on a recording medium. The discharge port is arranged on a downstream side of the image forming part; the conveying part conveys the recording medium from a paper feeding part to the discharge port through the image forming part; the kind obtaining part obtains the kind of the recording medium; the control part can control the conveying part when the fact that the kind of the recording medium which is obtained through the kind obtaining part is the first kind; the conveying part which is closer to a downstream side than the image forming part conveys the recording medium with the first speed and the recording medium is discharged from the discharge port after a speed is decreased to a second speed slower than the first speed; when the kind of the recording medium is determined tobe a second kind, the conveying part is controlled to convey the recording medium with a third speed slower than the first speed and discharges the recording medium from the discharge port with the third speed.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to image forming apparatuses. Background technique [0002] The image forming apparatus executes printing according to printing requirements. The image forming apparatus includes a conveyance unit that conveys sheets such as paper, forms an image on the sheets, and discharges the sheets on which the images are formed. As a result, the image forming apparatus accumulates the sheets on which images have been formed on the sheet discharge tray provided at the discharge port.
