Abstract

An image forming apparatus that reduces an influence of the variation of rotation speed of an image carrier, which is ascribable to, e.g., the eccentricity of a driven transmission member mounted on the image carrier, on the misregister of different colors. Further, the apparatus reduces the influence of the load variation of the image carrier acting on a transfer medium drive member on the misregister of different colors.
