To make it possible to execute a mode for improving productivity while maintaining stability of image output in accordance with a user's selection.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus can switch between a first mode that is in default settings and causes image forming means to output an image with first throughput when executing an image forming job for forming an image on a recording material, and a second mode that is set in accordance with a user's selection. When the second mode is selected, and when the image forming apparatus executes the image forming job in a state where a predetermined condition is satisfied, the apparatus causes the image forming means to output an image with second throughput higher than the first throughput.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】ユーザの選択により、画像出力の安定性を維持しつつ生産性を向上するモードを実行可能とする。【解決手段】デフォルトで設定され、記録材に画像を形成する画像形成ジョブを実行する場合に画像形成手段に第１のスループットで画像を出力させる第１モードと、ユーザの選択により設定される第２モードと、を切り替え可能であり、第２モードが選択されており、かつ、所定の条件が満たされた状態で画像形成ジョブを実行する場合に、画像形成手段に第１のスループットより高い第２のスループットで画像を出力させる。【選択図】図５
