An image forming apparatus includes: an image reading device for reading an image to generate image data; a memory capable of writing and reading data in parallel, for storing the generated image data; an image forming device driven by a scan-writing clock having a frequency different from that of a reading clock of the image reading device for reading the image data stored in the memory, thereby to form the image; and a timing control device for shifting a timing for writing the image data in the memory from the image reading device and a timing for the image forming device to read the image data from the memory, and for controlling the image forming device to continuously read the image data in a predetermined quantity from the memory. The image reading device writes the image data in the memory at a unit of data in the predetermined quantity.
