Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a latent image bearer, a latent image writing device, a developing device, a conveyance unit to convey a recording medium, a transfer device, a length data acquisition unit to obtain a length of the recording medium in a conveyance direction of the recording medium, an image forming processor to form a test pattern, and a light quantity correction calculator that acquires image density data of the test pattern and calculates a light quantity correction value to correct a light quantity. The image forming processor sets a position of the test pattern on the recording medium in the conveyance direction of the recording medium and a length of the test pattern in the conveyance direction of the recording medium based on the length of the recording medium in the conveyance direction of the recording medium obtained by the length data acquisition unit.

Claim (Index 12):
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium with an executable program stored thereon,\n wherein the program, when executed, instructs an image forming apparatus to execute an image forming method comprising: obtaining a length of a recording medium in a conveyance direction of the recording medium set in the image forming apparatus that forms a test pattern on the recording medium; setting a position of the test pattern and a test pattern length in the conveyance direction of the recording medium based on the obtained length of the recording medium in the conveyance direction of the recording medium; forming the test pattern based on the position of the test pattern and the test pattern length in the conveyance direction of the recording medium; acquiring image density data of the test pattern formed on the recording medium; calculating a light quantity correction value to correct a light quantity in of the image forming apparatus based on the image density data acquired; and forming an image using the light quantity corrected by the light quantity correction value.
