To control a drive sound.SOLUTION: An MFP comprises: an image formation control unit 75 that forms an image on a recording medium; a conveyance control unit 71 that conveys the recording medium at a preparation speed along a first conveyance path arranged upstream of an image forming unit and conveys the recording medium at an image formation speed along a second conveyance path downstream of the first conveyance path; a pre-formation detection unit 65 that detects a sound while the recording medium is conveyed through the first conveyance path; and a speed determination unit 67 that determines the image formation speed on the basis of the sound detected by the pre-formation detection unit 65.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】 駆動音を制御すること。【解決手段】 ＭＦＰは、記録媒体に画像を形成する画像形成制御部７５と、画像形成部よりも上流に配置された第１搬送経路に沿って記録媒体を準備速度で搬送し、第１搬送経路よりも下流の第２搬送経路に沿って記録媒体を画像形成速度で搬送する搬送制御部７１と、記録媒体が第１搬送経路を搬送されている間の音を検知する形成前検知部６５と、形成前検知部６５により検知された音に基づいて、画像形成速度を決定する速度決定部６７と、を備える。【選択図】 図４
