ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, an intermediate transfer drum, a divisional image forming system for forming image segments into which an image to be formed is divided on the intermediate transfer drum one by one, a sheet feeding mechanism for feeding a recording sheet, and a transfer device for transferring an image segment from the intermediate transfer drum to a recording sheet fed by the sheet feeding mechanism every time the image segment is formed on the intermediate transfer drum. A control unit for controlling the sheet feeding mechanism and the transfer device is also provided so that the image segments formed by the divisional image forming system are successively transferred from the intermediate transfer drum to the recording sheet so as to be continuous with each other.
