ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus that forms an image using a photoconductor body includes a switching unit which effects switching between a state in which a cleaner is operated for the photoconductor body, and a state in which the cleaner is not operated for the photoconductor body. A control unit is provided which controls a setting change of an image formation condition between a case where the cleaner is operated by the switching unit, and a case where the cleaner is not operated by the switching unit. The switching unit includes a detection unit which detects the kind of paper on which an image is formed, and the switching unit switches on/off the cleaner in accordance with a detection result of the detection unit.
