An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a transfer member, a leading end holding member, a trailing end holding member, a detection unit, and a stopping unit. The trailing end holding member is disposed so as to be rotatable around the transfer member such that a gap is formed between the trailing end holding member and the transfer member. The trailing end holding member holds a trailing end of the recording medium after a leading end of the recording medium held by the leading end holding member has passed through the gap. The detection unit detects whether the leading end of the recording medium passes through the gap after the leading end holding member performed a holding operation on the leading end. The stopping unit stops rotation of the transfer member when the detection unit detects that the leading end does not pass through the gap.
