<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily correct color misalignment of an image and the absolute position of the image. <P>SOLUTION: This image forming apparatus includes a pattern forming means for forming a predetermined pattern for correcting a position shift of the image, and a detecting means for detecting the pattern for correcting the position shift of the image formed by the pattern forming means. A measuring means measures a time until detecting the pattern for correcting the position shift of the image from a signal for controlling the timing to start image formation (S13, S14). An image forming position is controlled based on the time until detecting the pattern for correcting the position shift of the image from the signal for controlling the timing to start image formation measured by the measuring means (S15-S18). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
