<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce image displacement without decreasing a printing speed as much as possible. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: an image forming means for forming a multi-color image by superposing monochrome images; a pattern forming means for forming a predetermined displacement correction pattern for each of the colors; a detecting means for detecting the formed image displacement correction pattern; and a correcting means for correcting the displacement of an image based on the result of the image displacement correction pattern detected by the detecting means. In the image forming apparatus, the correcting means corrects image displacement when one (step S101) of various conditions for starting an image forming operation is set. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
