Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a printing device, an output value converting unit, and a controller. The output value converting unit is configured to (a) change pixel values of pixels alternatively determined in a primary scanning direction and a secondary scanning direction so as to delete a dot on the pixels in a solid part in a target image and (b) change pixel values of pixels that are alternatively not determined in the primary scanning direction and the secondary scanning direction so as to gain a dot size of the pixels in the solid part. The controller is configured to control the printing device so as to print the solid part with dot sizes corresponding to the pixel values.

Claim (Index 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a resolution of the target image in the primary scanning direction and a resolution of the target image in the secondary scanning direction are different from each other; and\n the output converting unit gains the dot size of the pixels alternately not determined to be a dot size in a case assuming that the both resolutions in the primary and secondary scanning directions would be identical to a lower resolution in one of the primary and secondary scanning directions than a resolution in the other of the primary and secondary scanning directions.
