1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a transfer unit configured to transfer a toner image to a sheet; a fixing unit including a rotation member and configured to convey the sheet to which the toner image has been transferred by the transfer unit, in a state of being nipped by the rotation member, and fix the toner image on the sheet; a motor configured to rotate the rotation member; a detection unit configured to detect an 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 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. |
