An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, image formation control section, counter, image formation condition regulation section, controlled printed-paper number storage section, and regulation control section. The image forming unit includes a plurality of functional sections. The counter counts a cumulative printed-paper number in a series of image formation processing. The image formation condition regulation section regulates an image formation condition of at least one of the functional sections. The controlled printed-paper number storage section stores a benchmark printed-paper number and first allowable value to determine the timing of regulating the image creation condition. The first allowable value is set to be less than the benchmark printed-paper number. The regulation control section activates the image creation condition regulation section after the series of image formation processing when the cumulative printed-paper number is equal to or greater than the first allowable value after the series of image formation processing.
