To provide an image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus 100 comprises: a transfer unit 5; an image forming unit 4; a conveying mechanism 11; a detection unit 111; a determination unit 65; and a first regulation unit 66. The transfer unit 5 transfers an image to a recording medium P. The image forming unit 4 includes an intermediate transfer belt 47. The image forming unit 4 forms an image in a predetermined area P2 of the intermediate transfer belt 47. The image forming unit 4 moves the predetermined area P2 toward the transfer unit 5. The conveying mechanism 11 conveys the recording medium P to the transfer unit 5. The detection unit 111 is arranged on a conveyance path L. The detection unit 111 is arranged such that the time to convey the recording medium P from the detection unit 111 to the transfer unit 5 becomes a first time. The detection unit 111 detects the recording medium P. The determination unit 65 determines whether the detection unit 111 detects the recording medium P at the time point when the image forming unit 4 starts formation of an image. The first regulation unit 66 regulates formation processing performed by the image forming unit 4 according to a result of determination made by the determination unit 65.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】画像形成装置１００は、転写部５と、画像形成部４と、搬送機構１１と、検出部１１１と、判定部６５と、第１規制部６６とを備える。転写部５は、画像を記録媒体Ｐに転写する。画像形成部４は、中間転写ベルト４７を含む。画像形成部４は、中間転写ベルト４７の所定領域Ｐ２に画像を形成する。画像形成部４は、所定領域Ｐ２を転写部５に向けて移動する。搬送機構１１は、記録媒体Ｐを転写部５に搬送する。検出部１１１は、搬送路Ｌに配置される。検出部１１１は、検出部１１１から転写部５まで記録媒体Ｐを搬送する時間が第１時間になるように、配置される。検出部１１１は、記録媒体Ｐを検出する。判定部６５は、画像形成部４が画像の形成を開始する時点で、検出部１１１が記録媒体Ｐを検出しているか否かを判定する。第１規制部６６は、判定部６５の判定結果に応じて、画像形成部４の形成処理を規制する。【選択図】図１
