An image forming apparatus includes: a photoreceptor; a charging portion; an exposure portion; a developing portion; a transfer body; a cleaning portion; and a control portion. The charging portion charges the photoreceptor. The exposure portion forms an electrostatic latent image on the photoreceptor. The developing portion forms a developed image on the photoreceptor. The developed image thus formed is primarily transferred to the transfer body and the transfer body secondarily transfers the developed image thus primarily transferred to a predetermined recording medium. The cleaning portion cleans the transfer body. The control portion performs control to: form a cleaning developed image on the photoreceptor outside of a paper feeding width and inside of a developing width, primarily transfer the cleaning developed image to the transfer body, and make the cleaning portion clean the cleaning developed image thus primarily transferred.
