ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention uses sensors to detect a marker of a transfer belt, and assigns the transfer belt to detect a medium feeding position and exposure start position, whereby time or waiting time required to transfer a color toner image to an output medium at a transfer position can be reduced, and time required to obtain an output image can be reduced, while ensuring a fixing rate and color reproducibility.
