ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a recording sheet feeding member which feeds a recording sheet on a feed tray to a transporting path, an endless recording sheet transporting member having an inappropriate portion which is not suitable for use in forming an image, a transporting member which transports the recording sheet fed from the recording sheet feeding member to the recording sheet transporting member, and an inappropriate portion detector which detects an inappropriate portion on the recording sheet transporting member. A controller controls the transporting member such that the recording sheet is fed so as to avoid the inappropriate portion based on a result detected by the inappropriate portion detector.
