Patent ID: 7286789

Claim:
An imaging device comprising: a developing device, which includes a drum in which a plurality of developers is integrated; a photosensitive member, on which toner images are formed by means of said plurality of developers, wherein said drum is rotated by a prescribed angle each time so that each of said developers is positioned relative to said photosensitive member; a transfer member, onto which said toner images of said photosensitive member are transferred; control portion, which corrects the positioning of each of said developers at a correct position relative to said photosensitive member; a velocity control device, which controls the movement velocity of said transfer member at a lower velocity than a prescribed velocity during at least a time interval of said corrective positioning; and a correction time computation portion, which computes the time required for corrective positioning based on a shift amount between a stopping position of the developing device and the correct position.
