An image forming apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes: at least two image memories in which image data is stored; a printing unit that executes a printing action for paper, which is a recording medium, on the basis of image data; and a control unit that inputs image data selectively in the two image memories and that transfers image data selectively from the two image memories to the printing unit. While the control unit transfers image data from one of the two image memories to the printing unit, the control unit inputs image data in the other one of the two image memories. During a printing action, preparations for the next printing action are completed. Occurrence of a standby time during continuous printing or the like can therefore be prevented. Eventually, the start of the next printing action can be advanced.
