PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which shortens the distance between papers to be carried in a 4D printer. SOLUTION: In a color printer having plural photosensitive drums for respective recording color components, when images are continuously formed on recording sheets, the lengths of image data of one page in its main-scan direction and in its sub-scan direction are held for plural pages, and are controlled for each page on the basis of the length data in its main-scan direction and the length data in its sub-scan direction, which hold the writing address of the image data in a delay memory for delaying the image data according to an inter-drum distance and also the reading address of the image data from the delay memory, whereby the interval between the successively transported recording sheets is shortened.
