Abstract
It enables an image forming apparatus to switch back a recording medium without increasing costs and apparatus size. In order to do so, the image forming apparatus comprises a switchback unit for switching back the recording medium of which an image was recorded on one face, to record an image on the other face thereof, a DC blushless motor for driving the switchback unit, and a controller for performing operation control of the DC blushless motor, wherein the controller reversely rotates the DC blushless motor for a predetermined time after performing brake control of the DC blushless motor for a predetermined time, at predetermined timing.
