It is an object of the present invention to provide an image forming apparatus capable of improving the quality of an image recorded on a recording medium and simplifying the structure. A release mechanism (31) forces a conveyance procedure of an upstream carrying mechanism (22) to be released in at least a stop state before recording paper (25) is separated downstream from an upstream carrying mechanism (22), and thereafter, printing is performed on the recording paper (25), thus minimizing the difference between the contact pressure of the upstream carrying mechanism (22) to the recording paper (25) and that of the downstream carrying mechanism (39), and minimizing variations in carrying speed due to the changes of the carrying position of the recording paper (25). <IMAGE>
