Summary:To appropriately prevent a cleaning blade of an intermediate transfer body from being turned up during the execution of a monochrome toner mode.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus has: control means 500 that, in accordance with a predetermined selection condition, selects a plural toner mode for forming images by using two or more image forming units of a plurality of image forming units, or a single toner mode for forming an image by using one image forming unit of the plurality of image forming units, and controls an image forming operation in accordance with the selected mode; and temperature detection means 142. Even when the control means selects the single toner mode in accordance with the predetermined selection condition, if a temperature condition is satisfied in which a temperature detected by the temperature detection means is higher than a prescribed temperature, the control means selects the plural toner mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】単色トナーモードの実行時に、中間転写体のクリーニングブレードが捲れてしまうのを適切に抑制する。【解決手段】所定の選択条件に従って、複数の画像形成部のうちの２以上の画像形成部を用いて画像を形成する複数トナーモード、又は、前記複数の画像形成部のうちの１つの画像形成部を用いて画像を形成する単一トナーモードを選択し、選択したモードに従って画像形成動作を制御する制御手段５００とを有する画像形成装置であって、温度検知手段１４２を有し、前記制御手段は、前記所定の選択条件に従って前記単一トナーモードを選択する場合であっても、前記温度検知手段が検知した温度が規定温度よりも高いという温度条件を満たすときには、前記複数トナーモードを選択する。【選択図】図５
