Summary:To reduce the workload for stopping a recess of a transport drum at a maintenance position as compared with the case that an operator brings the recess into stop at the maintenance position by inching the transport drum.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus 10 includes a transport unit 200 comprising a chain 49 that constitutes a part of a transport route to carry a sheet P, a gripper 42 that is fixed to the chain 49 for circulation and to hold a front end P1 of the sheet P, an image-forming transport drum 39 that is provided with a recess 100 receiving the gripper 42 with which the chain 49 is rotatably engaged and a drying transport drum 302 that is provided with a recess 101, and an operation panel 16 for selecting the image-forming transport drum 39 or the drying transport drum 302, thus having a mode to stop the image-forming transport drum 39 or the drying transport drum 302 such that the recess 100 of the image-forming transport drum 39 or the recess 101 of the drying transport drum 302 selected on the operation panel 16 comes to a maintenance position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】作業者が搬送胴を寸動させて凹部をメンテナンス位置で停止させる場合と比較し、搬送胴の凹部をメンテナンス位置で停止させる作業量を低減する。【解決手段】画像形成装置１０の搬送ユニット２００は、用紙Ｐを搬送する搬送経路の一部をなすチェーン４９と、チェーン４９に固定されて周回し用紙Ｐの先端部Ｐ１を保持するグリッパ４２と、チェーン４９が巻き掛けられグリッパ４２を収納する凹部１００が設けられた画像形成用搬送胴３９及び凹部１０１が設けられた乾燥用搬送胴３０２と、画像形成用搬送胴３９又は乾燥用搬送胴３０２を選択する操作パネル１６と、を備え、操作パネル１６で選択された画像形成用搬送胴３９の凹部１００又は乾燥用搬送胴３０２の凹部１０１がメンテナンス位置に位置するように画像形成用搬送胴３９又は乾燥用搬送胴３０２を停止するモードを有している。【選択図】図１
