    摘要: The image forming apparatus controls each laser scanner by setting the writing start timing in the sub-scanning direction to form the color registration correction image for correcting color registration at position according to the detection result of the image detection sensor. When forming the image on the sheet, the image forming apparatus sets the writing start timing in the sub-scanning direction according to the detection result of the image detection sensor and the amount of skew of the sheet to control each laser scanner. When forming the density detection toner image for correcting the density, the image forming apparatus sets the writing start timing in the sub-scanning direction to form the image at a position shifted by a pixel unit from the image forming position on the sheet.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus which performs an adjustment operation at appropriate timing. Whether to execute a first or a second adjustment processes is controlled based on the number of sheets on which images are formed. A first adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached a first number since a previous first adjustment process was executed. A second adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached a second number since a previous second adjustment process was executed. The first adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached the first number prior to a designated time by a predetermined period. The second adjustment operation is skipped in a case where the number of sheets has reached the second number prior to the designated time by the predetermined period.

    摘要: Provided is an image forming apparatus, which is capable of detecting a color misregistration amount with high accuracy even when a density characteristic thereof is changed. The image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image forming units configured to form toner images of different colors on a predetermined intermediate transfer belt, and a density sensor configured to measure densities of the toner images formed on the intermediate transfer belt. The image forming apparatus determines a density target depending on a measurement result of a density correction image, which is formed by the plurality of image forming units, from the density sensor. The image forming apparatus causes the plurality of image forming units to form position detection images so that the position detection images have densities corresponding to the density target.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus is capable of easily performing jam processing. When an occurrence of a jam of a sheet which is conveyed on a conveying path is detected, the image forming apparatus displays a jam processing display screen which guides processing in accordance with a position where the jam has occurred. After the processing in accordance with the jam processing display screen is performed, if a state of the jam remains unchanged, the image forming apparatus performs forced feeding, which forcibly conveys the sheet to a predetermined position. The image forming apparatus displays the jam processing display screen urging to perform processing in accordance with the position of the sheet after the sheet is forcibly conveyed.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus including a controller, which starts rotation of a rotary polygon mirror when a predetermined condition is satisfied, rotates the rotary polygon mirror at a predetermined rotation speed based on a first pulse in a first state in which light beams are not emitted from a light source, thereafter starts emission of the light beams, switches a rotation control based on the first pulse to a rotation control based on the second pulse, and rotates the rotary polygon mirror at the predetermined rotation speed based on the second pulse in a second state in which the light beams are emitted from the light source, and thereafter detects a temperature of a drive circuit board by a temperature detector, and corrects color misregistration using a detected temperature of the temperature detector and the detection result of a pattern detector.

    摘要: A controller of an image forming apparatus calculates a density difference between a measurement result of a toner image having the highest density formed on a photosensitive drum, which is obtained by an image density sensor, and the highest density of a density target. When the density difference falls within a predetermined range, the controller generates a tone correction table based on a density value of a first toner image formed with a plurality of densities including the highest density, and sets, based on the density difference, an exposure amount of laser light to be applied to the photosensitive drum by an exposure device. When the density difference falls out of the predetermined range, the controller generates the tone correction table based on a density value of a second toner image having a larger number of tone levels than that of the first toner image.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus determines a time length of a non-image-forming period in which image formation is not performed, the non-image-forming period being from when image formation on one recording sheet ends to when image formation on the next recording sheet starts, and based on the determined time length, decides the number of times of executing measurement (BD interval measurement) of a generation timing difference between detection signals corresponding to light beams emitted from two light emitting elements. The image forming apparatus executes the decided number of times of BD interval measurement and calculates an average value of the resultant measurement values.
