Abstract
To simplify control of a sheet feeding/conveying system while preventing a step-out phenomenon and saving power, provided is an image forming apparatus which detects a load angle of a first motor (M1) for conveying an n-th sheet (P) (where n is a natural number equal to or larger than 1). In accordance with the detected load angle, a current value for the first motor (M1) for conveying sheets (P) following the n-th sheet and a current value for a second motor (M2) for conveying the n-th and subsequent sheets (P) are set. Such control is executed when power is turned ON or the like.
