ABSTRACT:
While a holding unit to hold a recording material is rotated at a first rotational speed, an image is recorded on the recording material held. The image on the recording material is fixed by a fixing unit. A fixing speed of the image formed is changed in accordance with the recording material such as normal paper, thick paper, OHP sheet, or the like. In an image forming apparatus according to the invention, after the image was recorded to the recording material on the holding means which is rotated at the first rotational speed, the rotational speed of the holding means is changed to a rotational speed corresponding to a fixing speed. After that, the recording material is separated from the holding unit and is conveyed to a fixing unit which is provided near the holding unit.
