Abstract: At least one embodiment of an image forming apparatus may include a transfer unit, a fixing unit, a motor configured to rotate a rotation member included in the fixing unit, a detection unit configured to detect the amount of bending of the sheet between the transfer unit and the fixing unit, an acquisition unit configured to acquire an average speed of the motor during conveyance of one sheet nipped by the rotation member, and a control unit configured to determine a speed of the motor for conveying a succeeding sheet by the rotation member based on the average speed acquired by the acquisition unit at a time when a preceding sheet is conveyed by the rotation member, and control the speed of the motor based on the amount of bending detected by the detection unit during driving of the motor based on the determined speed.
