Abstract
In an image forming apparatus, during a continuous image forming mode, in a case where the number of recording members on which to form an image is not less than a predetermined number, a cleaning web is wound by a second amount larger than a first amount which is used for the ordinary winding of the cleaning web, after completion of a continuous image forming operation. Thus, a recording member to be next used for image formation can be prevented from being smudged.
