<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can automatically adjusts the position where toner images on a transfer belt are transferred onto paper, without complicating the structure thereof. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus samples the values of density detection signals inputted from toner density detection sensors 53 and 54, and counts a remaining patterns length counter, thereby calculating the remaining pattern length L1 (mm) of a remaining pattern 62. Then, based on a dimensional difference between the remaining pattern length L1 (mm) and a preset reference value, an image synchronous timing Tt for determining the position, where the writing of an image starts, is adjusted. Accordingly, the position, where toner images on the transfer belt 2 are transferred onto paper, can automatically be adjusted without complicating the structure. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
