An image forming apparatus (100) includes an image bearer (42), a transfer unit (1), a voltage applying unit (202), a stacking unit (6), a turnover conveying unit (8), and a control unit (203). The transfer unit (1) is configured to transfer toner images on the image bearer (42) to print media (P). The voltage applying unit (202) is configured to apply voltage to the transfer unit (1). The stacking unit (6) is configured to stack the transferred printed print media (P). The turnover conveying unit (8) is configured to turn over a printed print medium (P). The control unit (203) is configured to perform control to apply voltage again to a printed print medium (P) conveyed to the transfer unit (1) via the turnover conveying unit (8), without transferring a toner image onto the printed print medium (P).
