    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a high-density portion and a low-density portion are arranged close to each other such that a boundary between the high-density portion and the low-density portion intersects with the conveyance direction of a density detection patch. A controller compares, in the conveyance direction, temporal change in the density detection value at a boundary portion shifting from the high-density portion to the low-density portion, with temporal change in the density detection value at a boundary portion shifting from the low-density portion to the high-density portion, and sets a process condition based on a result of the comparison.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a light scanning device, a light detection unit, and a positional-deviation-amount calculation unit. The light detection unit includes a slit-shaped first light detection region and a slit-shaped second light detection region arranged to have mutually different angles with respect to a scanning direction of the light beam, and outputs a detection signal when the light beam passes through each of the light detection regions. The positional-deviation-amount calculation unit calculates a time period until when the light beam passes through the second light detection region from when the light beam has passed through the first light detection region for each scan of the light beam based on the detection signal output from the light detection unit, and calculates a variation characteristic of a positional deviation amount in a sub-scanning direction of the light beam associated with rotation of the polygon mirror.

    Abstract: A laser scanning device includes light source, deflection portion, image forming lens, a block position setting portion, and a light source control portion. The image forming lens condenses a light beam deflected by the deflection portion on a scanned surface, and causes the light beam to be scanned on the scanned surface in a scanning direction at an equal speed. The block position setting portion sets one or more block areas which each include a plurality of section areas sectioned from each other on the scanned surface in the scanning direction. The light source control portion controls the light source to irradiate the light beam to the plurality of section areas at a plurality of irradiation timings that are determined for each of the block areas. The block position setting portion shifts set positions of the block areas along the scanning direction for each scan of at least one line.
