Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a toner image forming unit, a transfer member, and a driving source. An execution unit corrects image misalignment on the basis of a detection result of a test one image when no toner image exists in a transfer portion. An input unit associates first and second containers of recording material with either first and second groups regarding characteristics of the recording material. A setting is possible in which, if the recording material stored in the container associated with the first and second groups is used for the image formation, the driving source is driven at first and second speeds. Whether to conduct the correction before the current image formation is determined depending on the group associated with the container in which the recording material on which the previous image formation is conducted is stored.
