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 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the controller is configured to execute scaling factor adjustment control for adjusting the scaling factor, and in a case where the scaling factor adjustment control is executed, the controller is configured to form a test image on another sheet using the first image forming unit and the second image forming unit, and control whether to change the scaling factor.
