Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a photoreceptor including a surface layer; a storage that stores a target value of a variation of a film thickness of the surface layer; and a hardware processor that acquires a variation of the film thickness in a first period within which the photoreceptor rotates a predetermined number of times, and sets a margin that is an amount of a portion for allowance with respect to a proper value of a parameter related to control of the photoreceptor, the margin being to be employed after the first period.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein\n when the variation of the film thickness acquired by the hardware processor is larger than the target value, the hardware processor sets the margin to be employed after the first period to a value obtained by subtracting an offset amount from the margin, the offset amount being a necessary proportion of the margin estimated by the hardware processor.
