<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form an image so as not to make image quality different even if the number of fixing times is different. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus forms a test pattern only on one side of a recording paper, outputs the recording paper after the test pattern is fixed once, then forms the test pattern only on one side of the recording paper and outputs the recording paper after the test pattern is fixed once. Then, the image forming apparatus reads the test pattern fixed once and detects the density of the read image. The image forming apparatus, based on the detected image density, sets an image forming condition so that the image formed on the recording paper obtains a target density. Then, the image forming apparatus reads the test pattern fixed twice and detects the density of the read image. The image forming apparatus, based on the detected image density, sets the image forming condition so that the image formed on the recording paper obtains the target density. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
