<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that an optical sheet sensor cannot read a test chart. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus includes: the optical sensor 70 on a side surface of a carriage 3 in a main scanning direction. A sensor control part 215 switches light emission in a light emitting part 71 of the optical sensor 70 when the optical sensor receives a command that it optical sensor 70 senses a sheet 9 and a command that it reads the test chart formed on the sheet 9. The sensor control part reduces the light emission in the light emitting part 71 of the optical sensor 70 when the optical sensor reads the test chart compared to when it senses the sheet 9. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
