An image forming apparatus includes: a transfer section adapted to transfer toner to a sheet, a fixing section adapted to fix the toner transferred by the transfer section to the sheet, a swing driving mechanism adapted to perform a swing operation to move the fixing section in a direction parallel to the plane of the sheet and perpendicular to a conveying direction of the sheet, and a controller adapted to control the driving of the swing driving mechanism to move the fixing section during the period when the sheet has not yet entered the fixing section, and cause the fixing section to move a plurality of times to thereby constitute one cycle of the swing operation of the fixing section. The controller changes the moving distance of the fixing section at a predetermined timing.
