Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a controller configured to: control first and second image forming units to form a plurality of groups of detection images, the plurality of groups of detection images being scaled based on a scaling factor, determine a plurality of detection start timings that respectively correspond to the plurality of groups based on the scaling factor, control a detection unit to detect the plurality of groups based on the determined detection start timings, and control the detected misregistration of a first image to be formed by the first image forming unit and a second image to be formed by the second image forming unit.

Claim (Index 2):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the first image forming unit includes:\n a first photosensitive member; \n a first exposure unit having a first light source configured to emit a light beam and a first deflector configured to deflect the light beam from the first light source, and configured to expose the first photosensitive member to light in order to form an electrostatic latent image on the first photosensitive member, wherein a light beam deflected by the first deflector scans the first photosensitive member; and \n a first development unit configured to develop the electrostatic latent image on the first photosensitive member, \n wherein an interval between scanning lines of a light beam deflected by the first deflector is adjusted based on the scaling factor, and wherein the second image forming unit includes:\n a second photosensitive member; \n a second exposure unit having a second light source configured to emit a light beam and a second deflector configured to deflect the light beam from the second light source, and configured to expose the second photosensitive member to light in order to form an electrostatic latent image on the second photosensitive member, wherein a light beam deflected by the second deflector scans the second photosensitive member; and \n a second development unit configured to develop the electrostatic latent image on the second photosensitive member, \n wherein an interval between scanning lines of a light beam deflected by the second deflector is adjusted based on the scaling factor.
