<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide image forming apparatus capable of restraining a density decrease in a registration correction pattern due to environmental fluctuation and degradation of durability as well as restraining a reduction in accuracy of registration correction due to the density decrease in the registration correction pattern. <P>SOLUTION: In an image forming apparatus, at least one of a plurality of image forming sections is configured to have different values for a first light intensity which is an intensity of a laser beam used to form a pattern for color shift detection and for a second light intensity which is the intensity of the laser beam used to form an image based on image data input through an external device or a reading device. Also, an upper limit in a setting range of the first light intensity of the laser beam is configured to be higher than the upper limit in the setting range of the second light intensity. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
