1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an image forming unit configured to form an image on a paper sheet; a conveying unit configured to convey the paper sheet to the image forming unit at a first conveyance speed and convey the paper sheet in the image forming unit at a second conveyance speed when the image is formed on the paper sheet in the image forming unit, the second conveyance speed being lower than the first conveyance speed; a trouble detecting unit configured to detect a trouble related to conveyance of the paper sheet in the conveying unit; and a control unit configured to control the conveyance of the paper sheet in the conveying unit and the image formation on the paper sheet in the image forming unit, wherein, when the trouble detecting unit detects a trouble from the paper sheet being conveyed, and the control unit controls the conveying unit to perform a purging process to discharge a troubled paper sheet to the outside of the apparatus after a trouble-causing paper sheet that has caused the trouble is removed, the control unit controls a conveyance speed at which the troubled paper sheet is conveyed to the image forming unit and a conveyance speed at which the troubled paper sheet is conveyed in the image forming unit to be equal to the second conveyance speed, the trouble-causing paper sheet being the paper sheet from which the trouble is detected by the trouble detecting unit, the troubled paper sheet being the paper sheet remaining in the apparatus other than the trouble-causing paper sheet when the trouble is detected by the trouble detecting unit.
