Abstract
An image forming system includes: first and second image forming units that respectively form images on first and second surfaces of a recording medium formed into a belt shape while transporting the recording medium spanning the first and second image forming units; first and second transportation controllers that control a pre-transportation operation performed from a transportation start of the recording medium to arrival at a predetermined transportation speed, and a post-transportation operation including return transportation of the recording medium to an upstream side in a transporting direction performed from a start of a transportation stop to a stop of the recording medium; and a recording medium amount setting unit that adjusts transportation amounts of the recording medium in the pre-transportation and post-transportation operations, and thereby sets a recording medium amount existing between the first and second image forming units to a predetermined recording medium amount after the transportation stop.
