In an image forming apparatus for forming a color image by superposing component color images, a control device obtains position data representing a forming position of each of plural registration mark images for the component color images with respect to a positional reference value arbitrarily determined, divides the position data into each of a unit reference range representing a range in which one mark image is formed, converts the position data divided for each unit reference range into those based on respective reference values representing the front edge of the unit reference ranges, extracts the position data representing ranges common to the mutually overlapping ranges each of which is represented by a couple of position data corresponding to the rising and falling edges of a passage timing pulse as read position data of the mark image of the component color, and calculates the amounts of positional deviations of the component color images from one another on the basis of the position data extracted.

There is described a method of controlling the rotational peripheral speed of the rotating photoreceptor drum to make it constant. The method includes the steps of: detecting angular velocity signals by means of angular velocity detecting device disposed on an axis of the photoreceptor drum; finding deviations from a reference angular velocity, based on the angular velocity signals; storing a profile of the deviations within a one-revolution of the photoreceptor drum in a storage section, while revising the profile in real-time base; applying an arithmetic processing to an angular velocity signal detected at a current rotational-position of the photoreceptor drum by referring data included in the profile obtained in a preceding one-revolution of the photoreceptor drum; and controlling the motor, based on results of the arithmetic processing for the angular velocity signals, so as to compress the deviations from the reference angular velocity as small as possible.

When an input image is to be formed on a sheet conveyed to a transfer roller, the exposure section is controlled and deviation correction is performed to offset the image forming position across the width of the sheet in response to the result of detection by a deviation sensor. By contrast, when pattern images are to be formed on a sheet in response to the instruction of the main control section, the image forming control section does not perform deviation correction in the process of forming a pattern image.

There is described a duplex image-forming apparatus having a function of forming images onto both sides of a transfer material. The apparatus includes an image-forming section to respectively form an obverse-side image and a reverse-side image on a photoreceptor element by scanning a light beam, modulated with image signals based on pixel-clock signals and reflected from a polygon mirror rotating at an operating velocity based on polygon-clock signals; a transferring section to transfer said obverse-side image and said reverse-side image onto both surfaces of said recording sheet; a fixing section to fix the images onto both surfaces of said recording sheet; and a clock-frequency changing section to change a pixel-clock frequency, and a polygon-clock frequency, corresponding to a degree of shrinkage of said recording sheet caused by a fixing operation performed in said fixing section, at a transition time of an image-forming operation from one side to another side.

An image forming apparatus including: an image carrier; an exposure section that deflects an optical beam using a rotating polygon mirror to expose a surface of the image carrier; a developing section that supplies a toner in order to visualize an electrostatic latent image formed by the exposure section on the image carrier with a toner; and a control section that controls at least the exposure section and the developing section, wherein the control section controls the exposure section and the developing section so as to form a solid image for correction on a non image area which passes through an exposure position in a period within which a plane phase of the rotating polygon mirror is corrected among non image areas between imaging areas on the image carrier.
