<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and a control method for the image forming apparatus, reducing unpleasant feeling of a user due to noise occurring along with an image forming motion while suppressing the increase in size of a device or the increase in cost. <P>SOLUTION: When a sheet transporting system motor is not "on", fan motion voltage Vs is outputted to a transfer section fan (step S11: No, step S13), when the sheet transporting system motor is "on", a Vm which is greater than Vs is outputted as the fan motion voltage (step S11: Yes, step S12) and the number of rotations for the fan is increased, and the rotational noise of the fan is made to be larger. Thus, the unpleasant feeling for the user is reduced by masking noise, which is the impulsive noise occurring along with sheet transportation, with the rotational noise of the fan. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
