Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: an image former that forms a document image including a correction image; an image reader; and a calibrator, and performing correction, wherein the document image is designed so that main register marks and a subsidiary register mark are provided, and the calibrator includes a four-corner detector that detects four corners of a sheet of paper, a main register mark reference position detector that detects reference positions of the main register marks, a subsidiary register mark prediction position determiner that predicts and determines prediction positions of the subsidiary register marks, a subsidiary register mark reference position detector that detects a reference position of the subsidiary register mark, a correction image prediction position determiner that predicts and determines a prediction position of the correction image, a measured value obtainer, and a correction value calculator.

Claim (Index 12):
The calibration method according to  claim 9 , wherein\n in the detecting of the reference position of the subsidiary register mark, a processing target area in a size that includes the entire subsidiary register mark is set based on the prediction position of the subsidiary register mark, profile data in a main scanning direction and a sub scanning direction is generated in the processing target area, and the reference position of the subsidiary register mark is detected based on the profile data.
