IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a latent image forming unit, a developing unit, a transfer unit, a detector, an adjustment unit, and a controller. The latent image forming unit concentrates a beam emitted from a light source onto a surface of a photoconductor and forms a latent image on the surface of the photoconductor. The developing unit develops the latent image on the surface of the photoconductor to form a toner image. The transfer unit transfers the toner image on the surface of the photoconductor onto a transferred-image receiving member. The detector detects a potential of the latent image or a density of the toner image. The adjustment unit adjusts a focusing state of the concentrated beam on the photoconductor. The controller controls the adjustment unit in accordance with a result of detecting the potential of the latent image or the density of the toner image.
