PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that prevents failure in color shift detection used for a color shift adjustment for each color and improves accuracy, and to provide a control method therefor. SOLUTION: An optical section holds color shift information specific to the optical section. An engine control section informs a controller of an amount of color shift specific to the optical section. A controller uses the optical section color shift information in color shift detection, thereby preventing failure in color shift detection. The controller determines whether to use the optical section color shift information. Thereby, accuracy in color shift is improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
