摘要:
A transfer belt driving control method and transfer belt driving control apparatus for color registration correction. The color registration correction method and apparatus performs the color registration correction by setting a pattern forming section, in which patterns for the color registration correction are able to be formed, and a non-pattern forming section, in which the patterns are not able to be formed, on a transfer belt in which the patterns are formed, performing the color registration correction by driving the transfer belt at a first speed in the pattern forming section, and driving the transfer belt at a second speed, which is faster than the first speed, in the non-pattern forming section.

Provided are an apparatus for and method of forming an image according to a brightness distribution of image data. The method includes detecting a brightness distribution of an image data unit that represents image data of a page unit; determining whether the image of the image data unit is formed or not according to the detected brightness distribution; stopping the image formation for the image data unit if the image formation is not formed; and executing the image formation for the image data unit if the image formation is determined. Therefore, toner waste generated when an image of excessively low brightness is printed due to a user's mistake or a incorrect operation of the image forming apparatus can be prevented.
