An image forming apparatus including: an image forming unit that forms an image; a carrier that carries and conveys the image; a detecting unit that detects a first adjustment image based on a light reception result of reflection of light projected toward the carrier; and an adjusting unit that adjusts a formation condition of an image to be formed on a sheet based on a result of the detection of the first adjustment image, wherein the image forming unit forms a second adjustment image having a first mark on the carrier, and wherein when the detecting unit detects the second adjustment image based on a light reception result of reflection of light projected toward the carrier, the adjusting unit adjusts a position of the first adjustment image to be formed on the carrier in the orthogonal direction by using a second orthogonal direction length of the first mark. |
