    摘要: An example operating method of an image forming apparatus includes detecting a position change of a beam with respect to a certain color in a main scanning direction, based on a change in a detection time at which the beam with respect to the certain color is detected by a beam detecting apparatus in the main scanning direction, detecting a position change of the beam with In respect to the certain color in a sub-scanning direction, based on a change in a detection time at which the beam with respect to the certain color is detected by the beam detecting apparatus in the sub-scanning direction, and correcting a value of at least one parameter used for alignment between an image of a reference color and an image of the certain color, based on the position changes of the beam in the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction.
