Abstract

See full text

An image forming apparatus includes an image former to form an image on a sheet based on an image forming condition for adjusting a position of the image on the sheet, a heater to fix the image on the sheet, and an image reader to read the image on the sheet, the image reader being arranged downstream from the heater in a conveyance direction in which the sheet is conveyed. A processor controls the image former to form an image including a mark on a sheet, controls the image reader to read the mark, generates the image forming condition based on a reading result of the mark by the image reader, and controls to determine, in a case where a second image including the mark is formed by the image former after the first image including the mark is formed by the image former, whether to form a chart including the mark on the sheet before the second image is formed based on an elapsed time after forming the first image.
