Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a first photoconductor and a second photoconductor; an image carrier onto which a toner image formed on the first photoconductor and a toner image formed on the second photoconductor are transferred; and a controller that, when the toner image formed on the first photoconductor is transferred onto the image carrier, rotates the second photoconductor while keeping the second photoconductor spaced apart from the image carrier.
