Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus, which makes it possible to easily control various kinds of functions. The apparatus is provided with an apparatus controlling firmware that controls a default display screen, and a Web display screen application program that controls a customizable display screen according to a process being separate from another process for the apparatus controlling firmware. The Web display screen application program has a function for calling one of default display screens as a designated default display screen, while the apparatus controlling firmware has a function for accepting a screen calling instruction. When the Web display screen application program instructs the apparatus controlling firmware to conduct the screen calling operation in a state that the Web display screen application program displays the customizable display screen onto the display section, the apparatus controlling firmware conducts controlling operations for displaying the designated default display screen onto the display section.

Abstract: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of achieving both correction accuracy of skew correction and minimization of a margin between images.
A color shift amount calculator that calculates a color shift amount, and a first skew correction controller and a second skew correction controller that control skew correction of color shift are included. The first skew correction controller controls first skew correction by a mechanical operation by the image former on the basis of a first color shift residual target value set in advance. The second skew correction controller controls second skew correction, by image processing, of the color shift after the control by the first skew correction controller on the basis of a second color shift residual target value set in advance.
