<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of preventing the surface of driving members from being scratched when the apparatus is restarted after, for example, the removal of a jam. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: a drive load detecting means for detecting a drive load on each of the driving members such as a photoreceptor 3, fixing means 6, conveying means 7 and transfer means 10 which are driven by driving means. When the apparatus is restarted, the drive of each driving means by the driving means is stopped at the point of time when the drive load detecting means detects any drive load greater than a predetermined load value. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
