Abstract
The present invention is directed an image forming apparatus as a Tandem type color copying machine in which a paper 11 is fed to a predetermined portion where an image is transferred to the paper. In a case where an image which is adversely affected by a seam 10a of a transporting belt 10, such as a color image or a photo image, is transferred to the paper 11, the paper 11 is fed to the transporting belt 10 so as not to overlap the seam 10a. In a case where an image which is not affected by the seam, such as a white-and-black image or a text image, is transferred to the paper 11, the paper 11 is fed to the transporting belt 10 regardless of the position of the seam 10a.
