Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes image forming devices, image output devices, an endless conveyor, a transfer device, holders, a detector, and circuitry. The image forming devices include image bearers. The image output devices form latent images on the image bearers. The image forming devices form visible images from the latent images. The transfer device transfers the visible images onto the endless conveyor that conveys the visible images in an image conveyance direction. The holders hold the image forming devices interchangeable at holding positions aligned in the image conveyance direction. The detector detects the visible images. The circuitry compares a first visible image of the visible images formed at a specific holding position of the holding positions with a second visible image of the visible images formed at another holding position of the holding positions on the endless conveyor, to correct misalignment between the first and second visible images.

Claim (Index 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the plurality of holding positions and the plurality of image forming devices include five holding positions and five image forming devices, respectively, for white, yellow, magenta, cyan, and black.
